We arrived in Jomsom yesterday, walking into a wind that reminded me too much of the prairies. Jomsom is in a very dry valley so there was dust. Lots of it.
This morning it was calm. This is when planes come and go, starting around 7 am. By late morning, it's usually too windy.
After seeing the other group members off, Joel and I found a bakery and had a snack. Then we took a couple of hours to roam around town. Not much to see and almost no shops with the kinds of things I was looking for. After exploring some curious stone circles, and tiring of the wind, we returned to our lodgings.
Despite being almost on the runway, it's clean and quiet. A nap and a rest is in order for the afternoon.
Tomorrow we plan a walk down the valley to Marpha. Apparently there is an experimental farm there. Some more rest and we leave early the next day for Pokhara.
