    Hi Aurora! These pictures are so amazing! This looks so cool! I hope you aren’t getting to cold…there is so much snow! It looks so beautiful there. Did you really get that close to a yak?!
    Hope you are having a fun and adventurous time 🙂
    Love, Ella (your cousin)
    ps. 5 dollar massages sound nice to me 🙂

    • Ella!
      great to hear from you!
      it was kind of cold there — but not as cold as it looks….
      it got REALLY hot in the sun!!!!
      like REALLT hot!!

      and yes, we (meaning my friend Katherine – not me!) got close to the yak — i was a little scared of them…. they are HUGE!
      glad you are reading it….
      and yes — the massage was great….

    Look at you! Look at you! You were here and now you’re there… such an inspiration. Did your world just open up or what?

    • oh, it was so amazing out there! each day, I think I see something that rocks my world just a little bit… shakes my foundation — but all in a good way! I the other day — i had the realization –” I’m not working – I’m doing it, following my dream – traveling! how great is this?!’
