Today was kind of a slow day for me, and instead Lindsey had more to do than I did. This morning we caught up on sleep and I spent a couple of hours talking to Joie about future work and coffee. It was good to finally sit down and go into a lot of details face to face with him.
Lindsey met with a couple of girls for lunch. It was an opportunity to encourage a local girl and have a chance to do some things a little more on her own instead of being with me all the time. I spent lunch babysitting and trying to get some things set up for another guy that used to live here and will be coming back to visit in a few weeks.
After lunch, Joie wanted to meet up with a local girl's husband. We knew her but had never met him before. He runs a shop in a village about 20 minutes away by bus. It is a quick drive and a very historic place to visit. So we went out there and spent a couple hours with them. He is a Tibetan who is a former Buddhist monk. We sat around listening to his story about how he became a believer a few years ago. I also got him to write out some scripture for me in Tibetan, which is kind of a hard thing to find, even out here.
This evening Lindsey and I caught up on some things we needed to do around town and decided to call it an early night. We bought bus tickets to go and hike The Gorge tomorrow. We're not sure if we are going to go or not, it depends on what the weather looks like. If we do go, it'll be a day and a half hiking in a valley with two 18,000 foot mountains of both sides. It is quite possibly my favorite place in the whole world.
