Kerrie,
I envy your trip - it would be so much fun to share the World with my mother-in-law. She has never been out of the US. She has scarcely seen the US.
Lila's health is up and down. She went back packing with me two weeks ago and it was a bit of a trial for her. She wanted to go so badly and I didn't have it in me to say no. Hashimotos has an autoimmune component that results in her getting sick easily so we were especially careful with filtering water. Still, life is good.

Kerrie,
Thanks for the comments on my White Desert report. Risk taking is worth it, although if I known we would be out in the desert all by ourselves, I might have rethought the journey! That said, the best moments were those when we felt like these places were our personal secrets!
Where are you off to next? Son #2 and I are going to Thailand in the spring but until then I have to settle for Palm Springs at Christmas.
Thank you for your compliments! I have been writing travel stories/reports from my travels to my friends for about ten years. So, I am adapting them for GLOBO, where they need to be shorter.
All my travel stories, written for a trip rather than for a specific place like in GLOBO, are available from my personal website.
I'm not sure whether you like trekking, but visiting Nepal was a great experience even outside of that.
The people are so friendly that it surprised me and after being in India, I kept on wondering 'what do they want from me'; but they were really genuine.
I've always wanted to trek to Everest base camp but I'm not nearly fit enough, but hiking up Sarangkot was a good introduction and you never know.

Hi Kerrie
You are very quiet these days. We have just had the wettest January for years - there must be widespread vitamin D deficiency for lack of sunlight.
Some messages from summer would be welcome.
Cheers
David

Thanks, Kerrie - I've uploaded a few more today that show a different side of the area.
I didn't realise at the time just how lucky I was getting a walk through the residential part and being the only visitor there when the road was pretty crowded below.
Cheers
David
