last day in the big city

Holly and I will both be glad to head to the mountains tomorrow. The tour today was like 101 world heritage sites in 6 hours. I saw people bathing in a holy and dirty river, bodies being cremated (exhausted stupor caused misspelling of this earlier...hope confusion wasn't caused), a monkey taking an offering from a buddhist shrine, and a woman fastidiously cleaning a cows tail with her hands (seriously!). That's enough for one day. This will be the last you hear or read from me for quite some time. At about midnight your time, we should be flying to Lukla. I'm sure it will be fine, really. Really. I'm sure.

Namaste.

Namaste.
It will be fine - you're right. Enjoy the mountains and everything else your trek has to offer.

Have a safe and boring flight and landing. Have a wonderful and exciting trek. I look forward to hearing about the adventure when you're back in the land of electricity and internet access.

It's not the crash you need to worry about so much, it's the decceleration sickness. Seriously though, have an awesome time!

What, and you didn't take any pictures of people getting cremated? Or you did and you're withholding?
