We stopped at an unusual Guest House. It was run by two Tibetan women, perhaps a mother/daughter team, maybe 50 and 30 years old.
When I arrived, I noticed an older white man, maybe 60 with a huge Santa Claus beard, changing the sheets and moving mattresses around. Then he ducked out of view. Later I greeted him, Hello, how are you? but he just ran away. I thought to myself, "you should have said, Bonjour, ca va? because I think that guy is French." The other tourists were also intrigued, and we guessed he was the partner of the older woman.
Anyway, it was an excellent Guest House, and just when I was getting used to cold showers, it had a piping hot shower!
Of course, Jibi had the scoop. "Oh, the French man?" said Jibi. "He is a retired engineer. He hates France and he will never go back again. He loves Nepal and the Nepali people, so he doesn't talk to the tourists, just to the porters and guides. Last night he made me drink rum and whiskey with him. You should see his room--he has EVERYTHING! A computer, a big TV, internet . . . "
"And is he with the older woman," I asked.
"The older woman?" asked Jibi, " No, he is with the younger woman. Last night I saw, they were in bed together, she was giving him a massage."
