Important part was that this retreat had some inspiring people who proved us that age is just the number and inspite of their knee concern they did this trekk so amazingly that every passing by person was awestruck and kept applauding them for their efforts. Hats off to my retreat members.I am always so proud of them and feel so blessed.
