I’m too tired to write

I’m too tired to write.
I remember that it took 8 hours of walk from Leh to Yang Tang and then 5 hours more from Yang Tang to Hemis. Most of the time I was gasping for more air, since my body didn’t get fully accustomed to the altitude yet. Iron red mountains. Sometimes a small oasis with a river. Then dusty iron red mountains again against a deep blue sky. Sometimes an animals’ carcass to improve my spirit.
The guide was continuously offering me to bring my backpack, but I was too proud to accept.
On the first day I saw only one other person. On the second I had the impression that the whole valley was full of Israeli without maps, waters, trekking shoes, guides or anything. Well, it looks like they survived the Himalaya.
