Into Thin Air

Woo-Hoo! From sea level to the thin air at the top of the world!

We saw Everest today. It was spectacular. We took a scenic flight and beheld the mighty force of the Himalayan Mountains. "Wow" is really the only word I can think of.

We have settled into Nepal and are thrilled with it. Kathmandu is a real cross roads. The book stores are full of the most amazing books from the far corners of the earth. We meet unique and impressive people every day. This morning we met a Swedish man who is on R&R from his work in training police in Afghanistan. His experiences there are shocking!

Tomorrow we leave Kathmandu for 5 days. We will be staying on a picturesque lake and will be able to do some day hikes. We are already looking forward to our next trip to this part of the world!
