Photos of Sarita's Family & Tea House











Photos:
1) My porter Sarita far right (with the Brittany Spears tshirt), with her sisters, mother and aunt
2) Bhima, another Nepali porter friend (she carries Rachel's pack and speaks terrific English, and thinks my fear of the suspension bridges is hilarious, but waits protectively for me at the other end of each bridge to make sure I survive), standing with the packs outside of the tea house
3) Inside the mostly warm common room w/ gorgeous display of dishes
4) Stacy, Sheila & John at tea on the other side of the common room
It is a gift to be here. We feel blessed and fortunate. It is special and personal to be here amongst Sarita's family. Every villager we passed on the hike in knew her, and we are priveleged to be accompanying her here, to her home.
