day makers.

my day started off with the Himalayas in the distance and an extra spicy cup of chiya in my hands. "himal" is the nepali word for "mountains that have snow even in the summer". it's like the eskimos who have so many different words for snow - of course the nepali people are going to have more than one word for mountains. Kathmandu valley is surrounded by "pahad" which are mountains below the tree-line. the sky is usually so cloud-covered that you can't see the big mountains. so today was special - the view was so spectacular - the shiny, white peaks almost seemed unreal - it made my day for sure. it's like nothing bad could happen - because i had seen the mountains. so, the himalayas are my day makers. tell me about yours.
