nepali vacation

life before and after vacations is always...  stressful, crazy, mayham?!?  on october 3rd, i left the country for 35 days.  there had been lots of preparation involved - many discussions, much packing, and too many to-do's to cross off the many lists.  one to-do was writing a blogpost pre-trip that described my plans for my upcoming adventure.  but it never happened.  so here i am - post-trip.

nepal was AMAZING.  it's truly too hard to express in words.  photos do a little bit better a job.  but still, they do not depict the true experience.  the feelings i had.  the lessons i learned.  the ways in which i have grown.  you'll just have to believe me.  nepal was amazing.

 funyuns on fingers are pretty funny.

 ganesh accompanied me on my nepali adventures since my boyfriend, cole, couldn't come.  not a very good substitute.  
but he did bring good luck.

 prayer flags hung on top of kang la pass (over 17,000 feet) in honor and memory of my patients.
