In Kathmandu...

... a day late.  The flight was delayed a day by a mechanical problem.  Etihad put us up in a nice hotel and flew us out this morning. 

Less than a minute after leaving the terminal I heard my first "hack a big loogey and spit." <-- One of the not-so-appealing parts of the culture here.

Less than five minutes later I saw two monkeys playing games with each other.  <--- One of the great things about being here.

I also was successful in booking a morning flight to Pokhara, getting a hotel for $12 (this is high tourism season so I was happy to get a room, period), AND a two hour massage where I fell asleep.

A very successful first day!
