Happy Mothers Day
I hope you had a great Mom’s Day. These are some kids that I met while checking out this old Temple (oldest in Ladakh). They took me through all these secret passage ways and showed me some hidden artifacts (little peace offerings left by pilgrims.) They were really good kids as the older ones would watch out for the little ones and they were all so polite. We had a good day.
I tried to do something for your birthday, well, it started by going by the internet place but it was closed so I decided to take a look around and as all things adventurous I ended up trying to go over the world’s highest motorable road. It did not fair well as it started to snow, the roads were closed for maintenance, I didn’t have a pass, and I was dressed to go to an internet cafe. I made it to about the 4500M range before turning back. Oh, the pass is around 5600M.
Well, I am still going “Full Power” as the hippies say. Hope you are too.
Steve

Wow, Steve. Coming up on end of Year 3. Unbelievable. I’ve only came across your blog a few months ago and have any barely scratched the surface of your entries. But have been amazed and have thoroughly enjoyed reading of your adventures, trials and tribulations.
One question (out of the many that I have.) - Just have many times do you think you have been “arrested” on your trip? It certainly seems like a lot of local authorities have no problem shaking down a traveler/foreigner.
