This is a shot from the top of the lowari pass. We stopped there to get some tea on our way to the massive landslide on the other side of the pass. The pass currently goes over the in progress construction of the lowari tunnel. I took some time to update the wikipedia entry on the tunnel today. It hadn't indicated that the work had actually begun. Here's a link to the rest of our photos from Chital. If you search for photos tagged chitralgroup that will have all the photos from folks in our group who've uploaded them to flickr. It was a completely amazing wonderful experience.

The wedding

The wedding was amazing. Having it outdoors was just wonderful. The ceremony was under beautiful sunny skies. The end of the reception fell under an amazing fun thunderstorm and then the skies opened up again to lets us all get down on the chairlift (except for the folks who already took cars down). We hope everyone had as wonderful a time as we did. At one point we even made it to the Sugarbush home page with this picture. Check out our flickr album for more photos of the wedding. Cherith pulled together all the pictures from friends, family, and honeymoon on her new google page.
