A stroll through The Himalayas

2nd blog
Good evening all. Well my boots are getting well worn in, and I am thoroughly enjoying my regular 1-2 hr brisk jaunts through the beautiful English countryside... however, i can't help but feel that i'm in for some sort of shock.I'm hoping it will be a good one! I have to admit, that my vanity, and my purse are getting the better of me, and i'm wondering... do i really need to buy special trekking clothes, surely they wear can-can skirts in india....Am i really going to be up there in khaki and purple wick-away clothing, with a little water tube connecting my rucksack to my mouth...?
Methinks I am!

Once in your life you should better stop and breathe in life, going high as a kite and have your bones walking after midnight, rising above the world that you are to us. And I'd think you'd know by now that we all walk with you... |
