Hike to Observatory

Today we went for another aclimization (sp?) hike to a local observatory up outside Terksol, a town back down the valley from Azau where our base is. Weather is beautiful and everybody is feeling great. Tomorrow we head up to the "barrels" where well camp for 2 nights. The barrels are old fuel barrels that were drug up the mountainside and knocked on their side. They can sleep about 6 people.

Since we've been here up in the mountains I have been sleeping great. The daylight patterns are much more what I'm used to as opposed to the 20 hours of daylight back in St. Petersburg. Starting to crave other foods now. Burritos, burgers and pizza.... I think I may just OD on potatoes while were here.
