Kathmandu (Oct. 31-Nov. 1)

"Tom Kelly's bike rumbles down..."

-Bruce Cockburn


Awoke early, as expected, in my Bangkok airport dayroom, and emerged to the slowly-stirring airport. Found the lounge and got a shoulder massage before boarding and doing the last 3 hours of my hour journey to Nepal. We peered down at the water soaked fields of Thailand and I realized that the farmers too will suffer from spoiled crops due to this flooding.

Mark picked me up at the airport with his friend Hem, a local Nepali who presented me with a traditional silk scarf to welcome me.

Got a nice curry with them at a rooftop place that only locals would know about. Soft landing.

Pictures to be uploaded soon.
