Thanks Bob. Fantastic time; Badri says hello. Times are tough over there now. There were trekkers on the trail of course, but about half the number of '01 or '00. In some villages(Langtang and Kyangin Gompa), they actually have a rotating schedule where only 3 teahouses were permitted to operate each day. So on any given day there were several teahouses left totally empty. Hopefully tourism will get a bump up soon and peace will return. Kind of a sad irony that one of the Maoist strongholds within Nepal is Kapilavastu, the dtistrict which is home to Lumbini, the Birthplace of Buddha.

I met many volunteers on the trail; if my AMAT does well later this year, I think I may find myself over there as I am not too enamoured with my current job(that is a gross understatement BTW).

Regards,

Brian
