It is now the evening of the 24th in Kathmandu and my Thanksgiving festivities have died down. I spent the evening celebrating with a host of Nepalis, a few Americans, an Irish woman, a French guy, and a Kiwi. It was fantastic. The stuffing was "Lovely stuff" and I'd be willing to wager Salim makes a better pumpkin pie than just about any pilgrim.
At one point a Coloradan woman sort of wandered into our celebration who once lived on 13th and St. Paul (for those of you who aren't lucky enough to live in Denver, that's just three blocks from where I live). She's been in Kathmandu for five years now, is engaged to a Nepali man, and has no plans to return to the states though, so the odds I see her around Congress Park neighborhood are pretty low.
Unfortunately I forgot my camera. My friend Ramesh primised to send me some photos but until those come through all I have is this photo of my lunch from Monday. Three steak enchiladas, brown rice, and a green salad with home made dressing. It was the first salad and mexican food I've had in months and I thought I was in heaven. Mike, (the place is called Mike's Breakfast) who owns the restuarant, also has some kind of connection with Northfield. He wasn't around that day but when I go back I'm going to try to track him down to chat.
