hi from linda
Nepal continues to go through more political changes since you left. Fuel shortages are lining the streets with cars waiting for 5 to 7 liters of precious petrol. More strikes in eastern Terai are closing roads and stopping projects. Nawang is growing by leaps and bounds, almost 45 pounds. We jog a mile every morning at the American Club to avoid the local canine territorial fights every 15 feet on the road. I'm heading to the States for 3 weeks then to Scotland for vacation with my daughter for 4 weeks. Great reading your blog-and seeing the photos!- hope work is going well for both of you--take care, linda
