made it to Kathmandu

---

8:30 am 3/16:

Woke up this morning at Linda's!! Totally different touching down in Kathmandu from Bangkok. Dimly lit terminal/concourse building, but with 2 baggage carousels, but lovely people. Linda picked us up with a driver and van - small 4-lane roads in town, but they make 6 lanes out of them - and you never really know where any one lane will be at one time!

Here is a photo of LInda's house in Lalitpur, it is about a 5 minute walk from the Filters for Families office building.

Looks like we will head to the field tomorrow. Went to stupa yesterday afternoon and going to cultural area this afternoon. Very excited to meet with a Kathmandu University IT prof this afternoon right after lunch.

Miss you all - gotta run so the other ladies can send their notes!
