Just a quick note–we leave in about an hour for Jiri, which will be a brutal 7-8 hour car ride on crazy Nepali roads. We tend to go to sleep around 7 or 8pm (nerds) so this morning we woke up at 5:30 and started getting ready cause we couldn’t sleep. Therefore, I had some time to kill. Here in Thamel in Kathmandu internet’s only about 80 rupees an hour, roughly $1USD, so I thought I’d take advantage of it. I was hoping to get pictures up but this computer sucks. It doesn’t even have Firefox. FAIL.
Also I’m really getting obsessed with learning Nepali. My best sentence so far means, “I don’t speak Nepali, but in 8 weeks I will speak it, perhaps!”.
Eva,
Well I found Jiri on Google Earth this morning and the one picture in a connecting link makes it appear quit picturesque; however the description of the car/bus ride was a little different, indicating a “crazy” (terrifying) ride on a “brutal” road. None-the-less have fun. Have your Pop send his comparative views of today versus 40 years ago.
Uncle
Eva-Lee!!
I love and miss you.
your descriptions of Nepal are beautiful, and I appreciate them greatly!
Also, in my Gay and Lesbian lit class we discussed the eastern tradition of male intimacy, like what you saw, and why it is not accepted in the western world.
I hope to hear more honey! I am thinking of you each day, and have a few random things I wanted to text to you:
