Driving down the road today I heard a song, and suddenly I was transported... "K-k-k-k-k-k-kath-man-du! I think that's really where I'm going to. Hey if I ever get out of here, I'm going to Kathmandu." Bob Seger's voice filled my truck...

I remember the other-worldliness of sunrise as I sat on a rooftop on one of the city's buildings, and the indescribable strangeness of walking past Durbar Square's temples, the "living goddess," the sadhus, and money changers, the Free Tibet! crowd, and so much more. It was 75F degrees today in Kathmandu and cloudy. The weather underground is calling for a low of 62F tonight. Tomorrow, a chance of rain. And if I ever get out of here, I'm going to Kathmandu...
