were over by noon on monday. This Diamox is really good!
On monday morning, after enjoying a breakfast made of Tsampa, we
visited the new school. I think it is really fantastic; I'm really
pleased with what they achieved there. It really looks like a school
now with classrooms and blackboards. Every day, two meals are offered
free of charge to the children. We enjoyed a lot looking at them
eating and having fun on the playground.
In the afternoon, the girls had a short ride on horses. I think they
enjoyed it despite the rain falling.
As always in Rigul, whenever we pass someone's house, we are invited
to get in and are served large quantities of food and drinks.
On tuesday Zoe had small stomach problems (too much invitations and
food!) and she stayed home resting. Chuga, Rigul's doctor, gave her a
mix of about 8 pills!
Tenzin, Cheukyi and I went on a bike ride to visit the village of
Rinchen Ling. Rinchen LIng faces Rigul on the other side of the
river. The main purpose of going there was to have a look at the
newly build Sakya monastery. I was pleasantly surprised to meet a
monk there that could speak English. The sun was shining bright and
it was actually very warm. By the time we returned home, Zoe was
feeling much better.
