Kathmandu at Last!!

---

We finally arrived in Kathmandu earlier today and checked into our room at the Kathmandu Guesthouse. I think it is one of the nicer places. We are all very tired from a quick and nerve-racking, face-paced, crowd strewn, busy, intense, motorcycles almost hitting us... walk. Colorful signs crowded the walls while hawkers surrounded us with calls of "Only two hundred rupees!" Women in their colorful dress hurried by, seemingly oblivious to the continually honking motercycles while children daringly darted across the tiny streets despite the fast cars. There are temples and shrines everywhere and people go to leave blessings and pray to these ancient deities. The people here are very very nice and generally want to do anything they can to please you. We go now to eat dinner here at the guesthouse. Keep in touch!!

Exactly where are you?
You don't think you landed in New York City by mistake, do you? I guess I need the pictures to be sure you are exactly where you say you are. Stay together!
