hiking 6

Today was a perfect day for hiking. The weather was sunny and clear and the red poppies were smiling with their black and red faces in the sun. Only one other man chose to take advantage of this great weather and beautiful scenery. But N- and I went up a road and found a good Mtn. to climb. It was in the same area as previous hikes it was just further back and a higher Mtn. We met a shepard on top of the Mtn. and we took a picture of him. He couldn't speak Tajiki that well because his first language was Uzbek. It was strange meeting a man in such a remote location. N- and I made it up this high and difficult mtn. in about an hour and were back home by lunch time. Maybe more people will come next week. The mtns. are in bloom.
