Well, two days later... we've finally arrived in Kathmandu. The town's not much to write home about--at least yet--so I won't. But the hotel is great. A flower-encircled oasis rising from a slum. I really don't know where it came from. Our trek mate Kat is supposedly in the hotel room next to ours, but we're afraid to knock in case of napping (though she's probably already out on the town).
Also the weather is warm. And we're wearing polypropylene. Found the shower and freshened up though. (Well at least I did. Jen was more interested in finding a "power source.")
Anyway, we've obviously found the electrical outlets. (Nevermind the young Brit boys who wondered what I meant when I asked if there was an "outlet." Of course I instinctively replied something snide about looking for the Nike store.) Jen and I both have writing to do. Jen on a script and me on an article. So that's all for now.
Photos TK. Soon.
Bye now!

but yay on arriving safely.
Be sure to pay a visit to the Rum Doodle in Kathmandu.

Yay, Maria & Jen!
I am so impressed with the both of you. Even if you never leave the flower-ringed hotel, you win the award for "Most Adventurous Chicks I Know." Have fun, be careful and keep writing. As I continue my slog through the Valley of Silicon, I'm taking extremely vicarious comfort in your trek through the valley (and peak) of awesomeness.

Hey, Maria! Next-door-neighbor Tom here. I created a feed to this journal on Livejournal, so folks there can subscribe by friending the user "worldfromthetop". Have fun!
Thanks for looking out for us, Tom! Now about those Maoist bandits...
