The awesome journey continues for us. After a wonderful fall semester teaching and surfing in Costa Rica, we are almost packed and 6 days away from our next big adventure.While we'll be sad to leave our beautiful niece Stella (who we've been staying with for the last couple of weeks), in just a couple of days we head to Asia.
We'll spend a week in Thailand, visiting and trekking with my old friends Pim and Anon (who were the guides on the many Thailand trips I led.)
Then we head to Nepal. We'll be teaching at a Buddhist nunnery, Bigu Gompa for a month. Then it's off for 6 weeks of trekking in the Himalayas! (I vividly remember my freshman year religion teacher, Jason Berv, crying when he described his journey to Nepal. Ever since, it has been way up on my list.)
After leaving Nepal, we head for a week to Istanbul, a historical giant. I'm hoping some friends choose to come meet us there for some fun and reflection. We'll see.
This journey ends in Charleston, South Carolina, where we'll get to see Kelsey's brother Wesley graduate from law school.
Kelsey and I will to use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our adventure.
Your trip sounds incredible. Have many wonderful adventures. I look forward to reading about them. Your initial blog answers my confusion about costa rica - i guess it was only for 6 months? Anyway, this year I have students from Thailand and Nepal so I look forward to hearing your insights/ Hi to Kelsey. And that's great about Wesley too.
