Since leaving Ottawa I have done nothing but think of the
half dozen items I forgot to do or pack before I left. It seems like no matter
how organized you think you are, the moment you take off your realize you
really weren’t. Oh well…
After 38 hours of travel we arrived safely in Nepal. My
suitcase decided to hang out in London for a couple of extra hours and catch a
different flight so I had to go back to the airport in the evening to pick it
up but it arrived. Hailey and I were grateful that we are the same size. if we
had to we could share our clothes. We are both also glad that it did not come
to this because I would be as uncomfortable in her jeans and tank tops as she
would be in my tie-dye sun dresses and old lady clothes.
The traffic, the driving and the volume of people here is
much like India. It is sensory overload. The driving is utter chaos and the
honking of horns makes a steady stream of noise. I don’t know how they do it
but if you can some how manage to relax in the back seat of your cab, you will
arrive at your destination in one piece.
The Mountain
Volunteer organization owns three homes, they are all together. The handful of
volunteers and staff we have met have been very welcoming.
At the moment all I want to do is sleep so that tomorrow I
can stop feeling like I was hit by a bus.
Glad you made it there safely!
