That may be true of the town, but these guys are way up on the mountain. Actually there are two ashrams. Steve showed us slides of one, and the town was visible WAY down in the valley. The other ashram is even higher up. Everything has to be carried up there by donkey and there are no roads. You have to walk up. ------------------------ Yahoo!
