Leaving on a Jet Airways Plane

I'm headed to Delhi around 2:30 tomorrow on a Jet Airways flight to meet KT. India will be country 4 (on the total list of 9). KT has been there a few days already enjoying the pool at the Hilton Trident and perfecting her head wobble.

Things have been slow in Kathmandu these last few days as I've been recovering from my second bought of Buddha's revenge and LS and RM have just come down with their first. We all suck it up and tell ourselves its just part of the adventure. I just wish adventure didn't hurt so much.

While RM and LS hung around Thamel yesterday, I took a 100 rupee cab to the Monkey Temple (no misnomer here; there are monkeys EVERYWHERE). Atop the 350+ stairs leading to the temple, I met a fascinating Tibetan couple who was enamored by my digital camera; eventually they asked, very sweetly, for a full display of its abilities. Never shy to evangelize on anything tech, I gave them a full run through of all of the TX-1 could do.

I think this couple was equally fascinated with the camera as they were with the chance to talk with the whitest, most foreign-looking English speaker for miles. As we parted awkwardly in broken English, they said that I had some of the best teeth that they'd ever seen - a compliment I'd never received but a very nice one none-the-less. I still have the photo that Llama (this was his name) took of me with his wife and plan to email it to his gmail address from Delhi. Maybe he will use it to prove to his friends how straight my teeth were.
