Its crazy for me to look at this photo (one of my students gave it to me today) and realize that it was taken exactly a week ago. A week seems like a short time, but it can take you so far away! Those clothes are in a laundry bag under my bed, that historic square is a memory, those pigeons are ...well, still remembered actually, but only because there is a green smudge from their droppings on my purse. The point is, I could scarcely feel further from Kathmandu than I do right now. I am sitting by a window with sun and a salty breeze, a friend is making me pulled pork and sweet tea for dinner, and I can pick up my phone and call my sister anytime i want to. I am a world away from where I was last week.
Durbar Square, Kathmandu
