Hi again everybody!
Day 2 in Kathmandu: After a nice breakfast we quickly walked over to the YESS office to drop off the race prizes. Tshering will sort them and decide what racer gets which prize. We then hopped in 3 cabs to go to the tourist part of town to collect the rest of our gear, sleeping bags and other necessary things like that. We visted Nima and Karma for a cup of tea and last instructions on where and when to meet tomorrow morning. We did a little shopping at the Everest Hard Ware store and to get back to our part of town, we took one of those little blue busses where they usually fit about 20 people in but we had it all to ourselves. Nice ride! tThen went off for a late lunch in a very quiet place - until the generator came on and we couldn't hear our conversation anymore. But what to do - Kathmandu? A short walk took us back intop our Stupa, where some wandered off for more shopping, some for food shopping and others for internetting. Tonight we'll light a whole bunch of candles around the Stupa for good luck for our trek.
My friends, this is the last blog entry until we come back to Kathmandu from our adventure. We will take lots of pictures to share with you after. And we will miss you all terribly. Thanks for following our blog and here is a picture for your entertainment:

Thanks for posting some pictures Judy. It is great to see the faces of the individuals that have undertaken this incredible journey. I have been following your every step and have loved hearing about your adventures along the way as well as learning more about this region. Judy I did not know how else to pass this message on to you, I have tried calling the bookstore but no answer. I have deposited the money donated from our schools in St. Clair Catholic D.S.B. I wanted to make sure it was in the bank before Easter. Teachers and students alike are sooooo excited to be a part of this event. Would it be possible to post some pictures of the runners that are running in honour of our schools with the school names on their bibs? The students would be thrilled to meet the runners via your blog and see their school name being a part of this incredible event.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
