Safe Arrival

Dear Parents, Friends, and other loyal blog readers,

Both HOLA groups arrived safely in Kathmandu today with very little trouble except for having severe jet lag (I personally believe the Delhi group suffered a little bit more from jet lag than the Qatar group), but we are at the Tibet Guest House, which is a lovely hotel near the main shopping district for tourists.

We have been debriefed for our trek and our guide friend John took us on a short stroll around the market area, where students have already purchased their Gurkha swords, small violins, and a Jonas Brothers cd or two.

I would write more, but since I am part of the Delhi group, the hotel bed is calling my name. Students are eating their dinner in the hotel restaurant, taking their showers, and preparing for a day of sightseeing ahead of them. There should be a good blog entry in a day or two after everyone is well rested.

Namaste!
