Namaste All (which other than also meaning hello and good bye here in Nepal, it more often translates to "I honor the devine within you", which I enjoy.)
OK, so here is a quick run down:
This is not going to be a blog, just a "quick" explanation. I have been trying for weeks at multiple Internet locations to get pictures up and for one reason or another it has not been working. Today, I have been on a mission to get these great pictures up and do a heartfelt blog that I thought about on the whole bus ride yesterday from Chitwan-Kathmandu. Well, unfortunately after 6 or attempts today alone at Internet "cafes", and lots of walking in the heat, having had only 3 1/2 sleep last night (and yes, being a little bit crappy), Jerad and I must "try again later". We have quite the list of errands to run today and hopefully tomorrow the Internet and computer gods will be on our side! But be prepared for some truly great pictures (as soon as it will all work) and a lengthy blog straight from my soul.
By the way, Jerad and I are only in Nepal for 4 ish more days :(, but we are staying in this neat Tibetan Buddhist community of the Kathmandu Valley, slightly outside the hustle and bustle of the city (thank goodness). We will be flying from Kathmandu to Delhi in the morning of May 3rd, then from Delhi to DOA in the evening of May 3rd, then we will be sleeping in the DOA airport on the eve of May 3rd (yes, sleeping bags, mats and all), and then flying into Kenya on May4th and starting our 8 weeks in Africa, 3 of which we will spend working and living at an orphanage which I am bursting with excitement about!
It's so like me, even when I try to make things short, they always come out wordy..."Ke Garne?". Alright, so know that we are well albeit a little sad to be ending our 5 week stay in Nepal. Please check the blog again soon and hopefully all will have worked, if not I will blog a real blog and have to wait to Kenya to try for the pictures. Again, "Ke Garne?".
Hoping all is far better than well in your neck of the woods and know that during my each of my mediation sessions, when I was enlarging this great ball of light, love, and compassion in my mind; I either had it hover over your heads and shine brightly onto you or stretched it out like a pancake and wrapped it around all of you like a giant, warm hug.
Happily,
Amber Allison
