Getsulma
On the highest motorable road in the world, H. tells me she's thinking of staying. Yesterday, a nun named Khunzes declined to tell H. her 36 vows – "Unless you become a nun." We laughed. Now we're not laughing.
But the street signs are still laughing:
Drive with care / makes accidents rare
After drinking whisky / driving is risky
Darling I like you / but not so fast
"So what do you want to do?" I ask. "Become a Ladakhi nun?"
"Would that be the end of the world?"
I don't know. We're on top of the world. I can't see the end.
