Deep-Vein Thrombosis

I have somehow managed to arrive safely in Nepal. I will write more when I get my bearings and remember what planet I am on. 48 hours of traveling with neither a shower nor much sleep can be smelly and discombombulating. I flew through Tokyo and Bangkok and discovered that Asians, not to be stereotypical, REALLY love their Ramen noodles. I partook and had the Cup O' Shrimp for breakfast yesterday in the airport. Looks like I will be departing the day after tomorrow for a 15-day trek to the base of Mount Everest. The Himalayas are gorgeous!
