We’ve been in Pokhara, Nepal for a few days now. Pokhara is at the base of the Annapurna range of the Himalayan Mountains. 4 or 5 mountains over 7000 meters high all within sight of this town. The area of town where all the tourists hangout is called Lakeside. It is a strip that runs parallel with a beautiful lake called Phewa Tal. If you hike along the edge of the lake you can see the reflections of the snow capped Annapurna mountains in the lake! The strip itself is a myriad of restaurants, Internet cafes, stores that sell chocolate and toilet paper and other stores that sell North Face ripoffs (of pretty good quality) for a fraction of the cost.
Paula had a bad stomach for a day or so and now she is off on a 4 day meditation and yoga course. This leaves me for the 1st time on this trip, alone! For the 1st 5 minutes I felt lost, but sense took over pretty quickly…Now we will have something to talk about! After doing pretty much everything together, it does not leave much for conversation except for my usual yip yap about Bon Jovi and whatnot. I think the next few days will be good for me to do some hiking and some other outdoor activities solo. I can finally have the good side of the bed as well (the beds in Nepal might rank as the worst 
I started out this post with the intention of uploading some photos from Chitwan National Park, where we did some safari-ing and had a lot of fun. But it turns out I brought the wrong memory stick with me, so they will come shortly.
Today is my sister’s birthday as well, so wish her a happy one!
Cheers everyone, I love and miss you all.
Chris
