June 27th: Wrapping Episode 2

by Phill Michael


Shooting the Last Bit of Footage for Episode 2

Another quiet and sensible day in Kathmandu! I'm still nursing my minor cough that I contracted AFTER getting back from the Everest Trek! %^/

We were up at 5:30am and finished shooting the last bit of Episode 2 of the podcast for www.secretspot.tv by 8am. Uttam (from the orphanage) came by at 9:30am and Chris and I became International Members of the organization. Prakash and Money came by at 10am...along with Chris' airport taxi...and wished him a safe trip home.

Chris injected himself into the little sedan and had 20 hours of flying to look forward to. Thai Air is pretty comfortable, so he's not going to be feeling any pain.


Chris Heads to the Kathmandu Airport

I'm still reading that excellent book that Alex left me with i.e. 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts .  I can't put it down!

I'm sort of on my own for a few days in Kathmandu. Beautiful. =^)

Now I've got the daunting task of going through hundreds and hundreds of images from the Everest Base Camp Trek...as well as quite a bit of video. Following that, I can bring the Trek updates...up to date. Fortunately, I have put aside considerable time in the next four or five days to do just that.

Hopefully I DO stay up all night reading 'Shantaram'...%^]
