First few days in Kathmandu

“Contrary to popular belief, expeditions, like journeys of a more passive nature, do not begin in airlines, they begin in ordinary, everyday places, like kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and garden sheds. They start unexpectedly like earth tremors when you are under the shower stuck in a traffic jam or flipping through a National Geographic, at the doctors office. They dawn as dreams, dream that wont go away.”
