I’m off to Bangkok in the morning which, if all goes well, will just be a stop-over until I can arrange a ticket to Kathmandu. Yes, at least today, I’m still planning on going to Nepal despite the growing civil unrest. I figure if things get really dicey I can always check into one of the many monestaries or ashrams and do a little meditating for a week or so until the dust settles. If the city seems safe enough I’ll be visting my favorite places from my last visit (Bodnath & Swayambunath) and places I didn’t get to (Bahktapur, Patan) to gorge on photo ops.

Seems like a long way off since I still need to negotiate the Bangkok travel agents. Next post from Bangkok where it’s forecasted to be 95 degrees F and a steamy 88% humidity.
