Happy Easter!

This Palm Sunday we spent far away from the palms & ferns of Tembagapura's cloud forest! We drove over 2000+ meters up the HEAT road and hiked to where may as well have been the moon. With the appropriate balance of Geo-Techs, mining engineers, Gurus & a feminine touch - me - we set out on our moon expedition to the prominent features of Lost Lake & The Prow!
Lost Lake - you can see how lost is an accurate descriptor... the lake, however, is debatable! 

Our route! The benefit of hiking with hyper-techy geologists & engineers!
Over 10 hours later, door-door, we returned inspired & tired!  Before crashing in bed for the night we forgot our tiredness for a bit at The Lupa Lela while enjoying a delicious steak dinner!


Some of our  recent weekday adventures have included:
    Organizing team building activities at the local dorm, Asrama Tomawin...




      And leading ladies hikes to The Air Terjun (waterfall)...

2 latinos + 1 South African + 1 gringo/bule = muchas laughter!


This weekend we are off to The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, where we will learn about Gross National Happiness! More photos and stories to come...

  1. Happy easter! It is good to see whaat you have been up to. I'm so glad you get to satisfy your craving for high altitude climbing :) Looks beautiful and fun. I hope things have remained settled down at 'home' lately. And I look forward to hearing about Bhutan! Love and miss you guys!
