Once again, after a long time away from the net I become exhausted and overwhelmed with this world that doesn't really exist, I don't even understand how the internet works. There's emails to respond to, a million things to write about, stories to tell and life to figure out. But I'm back in Kathmandu!
I never would have guessed at all the twists and turns that my adventure took. But one thing I've learned throughout my wanders: don't make plans, but never run out of ideas.
Since I managed to post in Thulo Syaphru along the trail I've had a novels worth of adventures: I had a Nepali boy follow me and think he was going to come back to the U.S. with me, I milked Chowry (Yak/Cow mix), traded my backpack for a Bamboo pack basket worked in a cheese factory and learned to make cheese and butter, performed pooja with a Nepali family 4500 meters up at a holy lake, got invited to leave the "trekking route" and see real Nepali life, and ended up harvesting rice, rebuilding the paddies, and planting new rice... So many stories and where to begin.
At the moment though, I'm overwhelmed, can't seem to function or respond to emails and I think I'll do better wandering the streets of Kathmandu than sitting on the computer.
I'm going to do my best to get on the computer and write. I feel so inspired after wandering the hills and mountains, I want to share that inspiration with everyone.
