cloudy. We were scheduled to fly out about 6.45am it is now 10:00am. We sat on the plane for a while. The pilot nodded off (nice). Apparently this airport is tricky, drops down and then an uphill runway..in a valley type setting. You can probably Google a YouTube video of it. So wish us luck, we got Buddhist prayer string necklaces that we got at a Stupa (Buddhist Temple) yesterday, so we should be good. Our guide, Karma, is a very positive dude (like most of he Nepalese), so he feels we will fly out today at some point. So just wanted to get this quick post out, as it will be a while before I have phone/internet again.
