1st Trip to Nepal: Letter Two
Greetings you sun-lovers!
I meant to write much sooner and have run out of time again.
Must make it short as email is very expensive.
We're headed for the Annapurna trek tomorrow morning, a hellacious bus ride awaits us! and then three weeks of spectacular mountains, buddhist temples, villages and vistas.
We spent last week in the Terai, a lowland subtropical savannah. It was surreal. Slept in a mud hut listening to elephants bugle at night, wild peacocks calling to one another. Spent the days tracking rhino and tigers. Saw crocodiles and rode elephants.
I swear to god it's the truth!
Hopefully the pictures will make it back!
I think of many of you often and hope you are all well in your lives...thankyou for making me feel connected to life in the states, it feels so far away!
I can't wait to share more stories!
Doug Thurston--can you let dad know i'm okay? he never gets on email. Thanks! can't wait to hear Amanda's Bangladesh adventures.
Chuck--you were so right about the tripod. I can't imagine not having it or the ungodly sack of film. Good choice--thanks!
take care everyone and enjoy the rest of winter and what your lives hold for you every day,
Namaste
much love, Rachel
