After a hard day in the saddle it's nice to lie down in the comforts of a yakhair tent! We enjoyed dressing up in other people's clothes - for practical reasons - we hadn't brought enough cold weather gear! 

           

   
Some of the local kids we made friends with. By the end of the trip Freda and Edie were as dirty as the rest of them!

       
More local faces, young and old, and Lesley (check out the family heirloom belt and necklace)
