Happy Losar, bringing in the Metal Year of the Tiger (or should that more appropriately be Snow Leopard,the nearly extinct cat species that inhabits the Himalayas)? Today is the first day of LOSAR, the New Year, which is celebrated with great fervour amongst the Tibetan people all over the world.
We'd like to have a party, but we're too busy getting ready to leave!! Certainly don't have time to make momos (a traditional Tibetan dish). So now we're taking the truck to the coast. We've had such an awesome response from this wonderful community we live in (plus some others from afar!!) that we just can't get it all in our little Echo. Not even close.........the community has donated over 250 bags, first aid supplies, and other items, and we've had such a huge amount of support and help from friends, helping to inspect and pack parcels, etc etc, that we are truly in awe!
Okay, this is just a short one today; hope you have a wonderful new year- take the tiger by the tail!!
