We went to a couples conference in Nepal last week. It was the most amazing trip. The hotel we stayed at is the the one you see at the very top of the mountain. We had the most spectacular view of the Himalayas from this sight. We got to watch the sun set and rise from the balcony right out from our room and at about two o'clock in the morning we went out to watch the meteor showers. There weren't too many shooting stars but the night time sky was just so beautiful from this vantage point.
Fred refused to pack his winter coat. He was making fun of me for taking mine but I said, "We are going to the Himalaya mountains so I know it's going to be cold. You'll be sorry." Then he said, "You're the one whose going to be crying when you have to pack that big coat around everywhere." Anyway, it started getting down right cold after the sun went down. He was really worried about going out to watch the star show but I dug around in my suitcase and produced a couple of my little sweaters which he was glad to layer over his T shirt. Then he put his white dress shirt over the top of those. Next I made a turban for his head out of my pajama bottoms. He was pretty comfortable after that but looked pretty funny. It's a good thing turbans are common in these parts although not so much in Nepal. Poor Fred.

Harry and Owen want to know if a Yeti or the Abominable Snowman tried to jump up and grab your airplane when you were flying over the Himalayas? They are wondering if you got to see the Abominable Snowman and did you climb up to the snowy ice caves? We are really excited over here to think that you are near the Himalayas! Can't wait to see more pictures! It looks really cold over there! What was Dad thinking? Ha!
