Namaste from Kathmandu!! What a city; the power is out a lot of the time, I'd forgotten how precarious it was to cross the road here- you need to have your wits about you 100% of the time, not 99.9!! Gapped for a split sec and almost got nailed by a motorcycle!! Brian got attacked (not in a bad way- it was funny, actually) by a monkey at Swayambu Temple yesterday- it stole 2 oranges- he had gapped for a split sec too.
We are now switched over to Nepal time, and we are off to our trip to the Tsum tomorrow morning; just have to tie up loose ends here. Logistics are still "difficult" here to say the least. Garbage and pollution is unbelievable, the rivers are worse than before, even, which is to say beyond filthy. We are looking forward to the fresh air of the mountains.
We met with the Tsum Welfare Development Committee yesterday and they are excited about our community's connection with theirs. They are grateful for your involvement. I probably won't be posting for awhile now. If I find it difficult to do this in KTM, I imagine it'll be even harder in Arughat (where we are taking a jeep to tomorrow), though who knows.......and in the mountains, probably non-existent. We have a solar charger with us to charge the big camera batteries, so that's cool.
See you in 2 1/2 to 3 weeks!
