Back in Kathmandu but....

Our flight got postponed so we canceled it.  (The later the flight the more unlikely it is that it will fly because the Lukla airport is in the mountains and the clouds build up in the late morning and the runway is short and landing is a dangerous proposition, even in good weather.)  So we've rearranged our itinerary and our Sherpa guide is now making arrangements for us to go to the Annapurna region, to do the Annapurna Circuit.  It's also a 15-17 day trek.  We'll be in a small town called Besi Sur tonight and we start our trek tomorrow.  There is one high pass (5400 meters).  The trek begins in terraced rice fields and climbs into alpine.  We're just ready to walk.

I heard today that I passed the CO Bar exam.  Thank god.  We'll raise a glass of Nepal Ice tonight to celebrate.
