Sorry to to have been AWOL but it has been a pretty intense preperation and final gear tune in Katmandu. Great to see Dan and Ryan (our guide) and the team; Rikard (Swede from China), Magnus, Frederick (2 more Swedes!?), Neal Jing (Chinese living in Pheonix), and Steve & I.
Had a little mishap in Katmandu where I spaced and left my camera in a taxi so now have an all new Nikon system. The good news is that theings are cheap in Katmandu and it was ~1/2 price than in the US.
We arrived in Lhasa this afternoon - what an amxing place. Tibetan plane!? It is covered in high peaks! Both the Nepalese and Tibetan people are models for us all in freindliness and graciousness! Simply a delight...very genuine.
The Swedes are waiting so I gotta go. We leave on the 7th for BC. Will try and update again.
Namaste, Bob
