Tom here. It's been a slow day for Reba, Diane and I in Kathmnandu today. I went to Bouddanath with our friends Debra and Eric and their 14 month-old Joey this morning, guided by our intrepid friend and driver Sunil, who is having us all over for a Nepali dinner tonight.
One last story from Kag Beni, where we were kept up the first time through by barking dogs directly outside our window, where a brown and white pup hung out on the neighbor's roof and barked all night long, seemingly right in our ears.
I have a confession... after only sleeping for about 3 hours in 2 nights and after hiking the Thorung La, I needed some sleep, and my addled brain hatched a plan. Before going to bed I took a little bit of leftover apple fritter (Mustang is famous for it's orchards) and broke off a little corner of an Ambien sleeping pill and stuffed it inside and put it on the windowsill.
I fell straight asleep and slept through a quiet night. When I woke up, refreshed, I stood up and looked out the window, where sure enough, my little friend was sleeping soundly. Have no fear, he woke up fine, but only long enough to growl a little and go find a shady corner to sleep some more. Does that make me a bad person?
Love to all,
t.

Tom,
I know the video will be awesome, but if you don't publish a book about this trip, it would be a disservice to all the loyal followers of this blog. I always enjoy reading your posts, so thanks for bringing us some of the little events, which I'm sure happen by the dozens on a daily basis.
Now, I wonder how I'm gonna get Mary and Ella to eat apple fritters?
Carl
