| I guess I never mentioned how overwhelmed I am with the notes of concern from friends and family around the world. Blogger friends, those who barely know me, to known close friends and relatives.
My mom and dad were freaked out. They are not the boldest of people, they live simple uncomplicated lives without risks. I don't blame them. We didn't give my parents any details about our trip. They just knew we're were trekking in the Himalayas. No contact information, nothing. Which in hindsight was bad. My dad didn't really like us going trekking. He is beyond the point of trying to convince us to do things his way. He said just once " why are you going to the Himalayas" They had to see me in person to believe I am ok.
Now my dad is also trying to stop me from going to Germany. I have some time before that trip.
As you already know I was super freaked out about the trip too. For all reasons other than the earthquake.
Thanks to each and every one of my friends for praying for me. It really really means a lot to me.
I am also extremely grateful to our guide. I have to dedicate a separate post to him. Nepal in general has given me hope in humanity. It makes me feel selfish and bad. And superficial. And guilty. I hope to do something about it. |
