This afternoon, the family took advantage of the warm, sunny day by going on a hike in the nearby town of Lava. Throughout the day, not only did we see beautiful views of the snow-capped Himalayas in the distance, but we also saw the local wildlife first hand: a pheasant, a barking deer, and some other exotic bird.
By the time we hit the road to make our way back home, the sun had set and the darkness had taken its place. We thought we'd seen all that we could for the day. Yet, low and behold, a couple miles out of Lava, we got yet another surprise. Barreling around a curve, we nearly ran into a snow leopard crossing the road.
Can you believe it?! A leopard! And everyone in the car saw it! ...And by everyone, I mean everyone but me seeing as how my view was obstructed by Joel's head, who was sitting in my lap.
But still... I was within feet of a wild, not-caged-in-at-a-zoo leopard! Thankfully in a car! ...I can't help but wander how brave the villagers walking on foot are! Can you imagine running into that thing then?!
