I am back in Kathmandu. I got back 2 days ago. It is nice to be home...in Nepal.
I was spending a lot of time with Amy, her mother and grandmother. It was very nice. They left today. I am so glad I had the chance to meet them.
Yesterday morning, at 6:30am, we boarded a little jet plane that can go the highest elevations, and did the mountain flight. We flew so close to the entire range of spectacular mountains...I felt like I could just reach out and touch Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and the rest of the highest peaks in the world. It was very unbelievable, and so incredible to be so near to the mountains that I only saw in movies or my imagination, or read about in books. To be so close to where so many lives have been taken attempting to climb the marvelous peak(s). To be so close to the most grandiose of mother natures creations.
I feel so lucky to be living this life. To have such amazing and supportive parents. To have taught theatre in Nepal. To learn so much about myself and where I stand in this crazy world.
TJ comes to Kathmandu the day after tomorrow...Thursday - or Wednesday night for those of you on the other side of the world. I can't wait to see him. I know we both have learned so much the last 3&1/2 months and it is going to be great to share that with each other.

Wow Jessica,
I am so glad you are having such a special experience in you mind, body and soul. It will certainly change you in ways yet to come. The flight sounds terrific and I am glad it worked out. Just two days until TJ gets there. Sorry I missed you call the other night.
As always, thinking of you with much love and excitement. Dad
