And I'm back! Another amazing and most interesting day in Kathmandu!!!! We have arrived in the middle of a festival week and today is the celebration of 'wealth'. All store and home owners are busy cleaning, washing, clearing away garbage etc. so that the gods of wealth (I hope I got that right) will provide abundance to everyone. (I cleaned out my purse - hope that counts!) After a ... Read Full Entry

Hi Pat, I can tell you are frustrated with the titles of your pictures not appearing where they should be but I am a smart girl, I can usually figure out where they are supposed to but today I finally had to laugh out loud...the label was Temple on the Stupa and it was a bottle of Everest Beer! Who knows, to many, this might be their Temple!!!

The whole blog
Hello. I have seen your whole blog and I really liked the pictures of the bunch of people on the unicycle at the show in china. I also liked the pictures of the Buddhist monks. Did you meet any monks? The pictures of Mount Everest were really good. The streets in China, Vietnam , Cambodia and Nepal look so crazy. Hope you are enjoying your trip. I am going to check the blog every day. From Evan

Amazing Pat
Thank you so much for your wonderful blog Pat. It is so nice that our families and friends can follow our every move and so regularly. You are gooooood! It is difficult as a member of the tour to find time to send e-mails in our busy schedule and with spotty and sometimes slow connections. Your updates hit all of the high spots, the comical ones and reflect exactly what I seem to be thinking at each place we visit. You, who have to be the first one out in the morning and the last one in the evening to count all your chickens so we don't get lost forever in some market or other. You who must attend meetings and planning

Oops hit the send button too soon--- You who must attend planning and debriefings several times a day. You who takes hundreds of descriptive picture every day. You who takes time to visit with everyone - red, blue or green and keep all colors happy and laughing. You who goes on extra excursions during free time. you who never forgets to include your mom and so many others at home so lovingly. You who writes snail mail postcards from every locale to those who don't use computers. You you you are the one who takes the time to write and illustrate your wonderful blog. Thank you so

Thanks, Pat for your wonderful photos. It's such a treat to see the vibrant colours & festive streets of bustling Kathmandu, especially on this cold, dark, rainy day in SW Ontario.

Those fish drying in the sun must have smelled like a bed of roses....NOT. How long does a rug take from start to finish for these ladies....That was amazing. What is in the colored powder bowls? The marigolds are gorgeous...Did any of you have yourselves henna'd? Nepal is so congested and between the cows and the dirt and the traffic, I honestly don't think I could handle it....You guys continue to amaze me. The biggest news here BELIEVE IT OR NOT is Maks. The brawl he had with Len is just getting uglier and uglier....At this point , the controversy is the only thing keeping Hope on the show.... xoxoxoxoxo

Fantastic!!!
Thanks so much for the great comments on all of your blog pages! They really give those of us at home (who are green with envy) a taste of what you're all experiencing. I know that there are those among you who are glad to see Mt. Everest (breathtaking photos!!!!) at last (missed out on it on last year's trip). Keep these wonderful stories coming! I look forward to reading them and seeing the pictures every day! Hello to Ed from the gang!
