Almost three weeks without computer access is almost more than I can bear! I am in the Katmandu Airport awaiting my flight back to Singapore. One quick night there and I catch a morning bus to KL. These last few weeks have been amazing and will take me a few days to even digest. For now I am just happy to see pics of my grandkids and read some emails from home.
Nepal is an incredible country and we were able to visit places never intended for tourists – at least upstanding tourists. I spent time in brothels and prisons as well as churches and clubhouses and homes of some of the most amazing people. It was an awesome privilege.
I even got to watch the sun rise over the Himalayas, drive over near impassable mountain roads and trek up some “small” mountains. I also slept in some places that I never intended to sleep in my life and we won’t even talk about the washrooms. Looking forward to a bed that is more than a thin pad on boards.

its nice to hear what the rest of the world is thinking about this election……. i see that me and my vote are not on the popular side. but thats ok…i guess thats part of what makes america, america.
i do however agree with how bad our nation is now. and i dont think that it is going to get much better any time soon.
