Safe Return to Kathmandu

Susan sent a text message from Kathmandu. They arrived by Twin Otter aircraft from Phaplu about noon, Monday, (our midnight Sunday) and moved back to a cheerful room at the Yak & Yeti Hotel. I phoned when I woke up and Susan answered. She was walking with Rebecca and Pemba through the noisy streets of Thamel. They'd had dinner and were shopping for paper bunting or streamers to augment our aging collection. (We use them for birthday celebrations.) Tomorrow, Susan says they will find an internet cafe, add a page to this blog, and upload more photos, before heading over to the Hyatt hotel spa for massages and manicures.
