4/19/13 Reed, Andree and I arrived in Kathmandu and were met by our Outfitter Jiban. Allison and Kevin arrived a day early and brought me a fabulous gift, a new iPad! Reed had called them and placed the request after I lost mine in Boston. After getting settled we took a stroll to see if we could find a camera adapter for the iPad with no success. In the short time of being in Kathmandu I don't understand why Bob Seger would want to go there. If only as a gateway to the mountain that makes sense. The city itself is chaotic, dirty and noisy! I was taught the meaning of the beeping horns in Delhi, but in Kathmandu I think you need to just lay on the horn and don't let go.
4/20/13 The rest of our group arrived and got settled in. Anyone interested was invited to take a walk to Durbar Square. We enjoyed a festival going on in the town. At dinner we had our first Medical/Nursing Lecture, Introduction to Wilderness Medicine.
I see: the electric cables ( above) were a retro-fit !!! Love the guy's feet poking out of his "taxi" ! Wonder: if one wants to engage his taxi-services, does one have to tickle his feet to get his attention?
