		<description><![CDATA[Good Morning, &#160; Today I begin the long flight home…transiting through Bangkok and Los Angeles before arriving in Salt Lake City Monday afternoon.  I’ll re-cross the nternational Dateline and go back twelve hours in time…leaving on December 4th and arriving in Los Angeles on December 4th…which is pretty tricky given I will have been on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Namaste, &#160; This time next week, I’ll start making my way back stateside…beginning the long 24 hour journey home.  The longest leg is between Bangkok and Los Angeles…which will have me sitting on a plane for 18 hours.  Today and tomorrow, I’ll make my last rounds in the camp…and will spend one more day in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Good Morning, &#160; &#160; In less than two weeks’ time, I will begin my long travels back home. I can’t believe it.  Bishnu’s brother Krishna left Thursday to return to his job in Saudi Arabia…prompting deep feelings of sadness knowing my turn is next.  He will be gone now for three years.  He came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Namaste, &#160; &#160;                 After weathering five days of steady rain, the sun has finally come out…leaving the Annapurna Range of the Himalayan Mountains beautifully set against an amazing blue sky.  The sunrises and sunsets have been spectacular.  I wish my camera could catch it in a way that did it justice. &#160; &#160;                 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good Morning, &#160; &#160; It seemed like such a quiet week, after all of the previous weeks festivities. The kids are all now back in school…leaving just Bishnu, Anil and I at home on the days I don’t go out to the Tibetan camps. We’ve been having unseasonable rain….huge storms with wind and lightning. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tashi Delek! &#160;                 Tihar has now come and gone….leaving the remaining month I have left free of festivals, marriage ceremonies and other exciting events.  We will all settle into a quiet routine.  Usually, Dashain and Tihar start about this time of year.  The timing is based on the moon’s cycle and varies from year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good Morning, &#160; This week was a quiet one…compared to the previous weeks where we were in the midst of the Dashain festival and Sapana’s marriage ceremony. I think of this as the calm before the storm. This week we will celebrate Tihar…a five day festival where I will honor my brothers. The rains are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tashi Delek! &#160; I can’t believe I have now been here for a month…which means that I only have a month and a half to go. The time seems to be slipping quickly by. I wish it would slow down. The monsoon rains have tapered off…although I’m sure we’ll get at least one more huge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Namaste! &#160; I am happy to report that I survived another Dashain festival, navigating from house to house and moderating my food and raksi intake. The actual tikka day reminds me of my family’s celebration of holidays. Hours are put into preparing for the event…then it passes in a blink of an eye. In celebration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Dashain! &#160; We are in the middle of a Nepali festival known as Dashain. This is a nine day festival where the Goddess Durga battles a demon called Mahasasur. On the first day of the festival, corn seeds that had been soaked in water are put into red soil on plates made of leaves. [...]]]></description>
