Just returned from Thamel. Now I know where all the tourists are hanging out. I am still overwhelmed by the hectic, crazy, busy, fast past, noisy, polluted, crowded bustle of the city. Kathmandu is relatively poor but so rich in culture.
We spent the day walking the city and purchasing our last minute items. We were informed that the city (country?) will be having a bus strike tomorrow so our plans to catch the bus to Jiri in the morning are history. Sooooo, Lindsay knows a guy who knows a guy who has a car and for a small fee can get us to Jiri. No problem. So are plans are back on!
We are leaving for Jiri tomorrow to begin our Trek from Jiri to Namche Bazaar. We should arrive in Namche by May 2nd or 3rd if all goes to plan (and it usually doesn't). I probably will not have access to the internet during this time- but should be able to update in Namche.

Really fascinating! The culture is so deep and rich and yet the bustle of 'modern life' has penetrated some parts of life there; how wise culture is and what a treasure that it colors every experience so much more, I am looking forward to pictures please! Maria
