Nepal!!!
Hello blog readers!
If you're reading this, it means that Matt and myself have indeed made it to Nepal and are on something like day 4 of the Jomsom trek around the Annapurna range. We need this kind of confirmation because sometimes it's hard to believe we're really here. The other three (Ben, Marvin, and DC, are hopefully home safely.
Nepal is amazing! The cities are hectic, the food is good, and the mountains are on a scale that makes me look at everything I've seen before as mere hills. We had a view yesterday where we could see several of the top 10 or the world's tallest mountains. That was in fact this view:
This is not our photo. I can't upload mine at the moment...but it looked something like this at sunrise
Anyways, internet here costs five rupees per minute as every keystroke is sent by fast runner to India, where they have such things as fiber optics. There will be much posting when a cheaper source of internet is found. Also, when the time is ripe, there will also be pictures!
Until then....good night, and good luck.
