Beginning of our Trek-
Lynne decided not go with us and headed back to Kunming. Its a good thing, you'll find out later why. She probably would never have spoken to me again.
Wow! What an amazing journey! Our guides are basically crazy Tibetan alcoholics. They stayed up super late drinking the night before we left, until about 4 am. For the most part, they weren't the best guides, but they sufficed. They carried our shit, which I probably wouldn't have been able to do, not being a mountain person by nature.
They spent most of the day either way behind us or way ahead of us, but either way, they were drinking quite heavily. In fact, the most boisterous one, Jason, gave his bottle of whiskey to Evan, just so that he could not drink any more. ha.
The guides at one point decided that we needed to get off the road and walk straight up a steep incline. Personally, I think it was a stupid idea. Why?
1) Wet grass and 2) it was a lot harder and didn't save and time at all. Ho-hum. Fuck. 3) It gave me soggy foot for the next 8 hours.
However, the scenery was good. Evan handed me a piece of fruit, which tasted like some sort of lemon wine vinegar concoction. I couldn't get that nasty taste out of my mouth for two hours. Thanks, Evan.
We stopped for lunch and ate slightly cream filled cookies and flat bread. Thanks to the two awesome Chinese women who were on the trip with us, we got to eat some starburst and cola candy - fizzling in your mouth goodness, and finally some almond chocolate mother fucking kisses.
Jesus Christ - oh shit that reminds me. I had this great idea for a Biscuit-cracker idea. Its Called Jesus Christ crackers, supplying alternative competition to Saltines and Ritz. Commercial is simple--we just show people taking a bite of a cracker and then they get all wide-eyed and emphatically state, "Jesus Christ, those are good." And then they just sell like hot cakes.
