Nepal

One of the best things about working at an international school? October break! WOOO! On Friday we're off, this time to Nepal. We got a lot of beach over the summer, so on this vacation we're heading north for something entirely different. A six-day trek through the Himalayas.

I have to say, we are completely unprepared for it. After living in the tropics for almost four years, I have next to no warm clothes. And you all know what happened to my hiking boots. But through the generosity of some good friends, I am mostly geared up.

It would be miraculous to find an internet connection in the middle of the tallest mountains in the world. If I do, I'll send an update. But I'm pretty sure you won't hear from us until the 18th, when I hope to be: A. alive and B. skinnier. Am sure of B, not so sure of A. JUST KIDDING MOM!
