The Mountain Monastary

We are back in Lupa after spending the last few days at the monastary on Dysen da Tisiha (Mountain of the sun). I havn't posted because, as you might expect there isn't any internet connection up there! The climb was hard, but not extremly so. But when we got to the top, the view was breath taking. We turned around and just stood there silently for a few minutes. The monastary is also very beautifull, built with very simple stone design, but inlaid with golden trim and salthan art. the Priests get frequent visitors, both pilgrims and curious tourists, and so for a small fee provide a bed and breakfast.
We're going to rest in Lupa for a few days, and contenue on our journey, going westword.

Lupa, City of Ginira's Birth

Lupa, what used to be a very small town, just a few miles northwest of Ten Terak is the birthplace of the famous Santh prophet, Ginira(488-392 GK). There is a temple built on the traditional place of his birth, and the site he was supposed to have his coming of age cerimony and had the vision that prompted his change of name to Panasanth (It means "Mouth of Santh".) Every year hundreds of pilgrims come to visit these holy sites. We visited both, and we enjoyed the tours. (I translated for my son, since he only speaks very little salthan.)

Next we will be going up to Dysen De Tisiha, which is a little distance to north west from here. About half way up is a monastary of Santh. After that we will be contenuing westword.
