June 28th: Another Beautiful Day in Kathmandu

by Phill Michael


One of the Views from my Top Floor Room in Kathamandu

The music drifts through the air like smoke...clearly audible over the heavy rain. Thursday night in Kathmandu is alive with Bob Marley and all sorts of other golden oldies, thanks to a cover band that is about a block away. Towards the airport, I see the whole city skyline illuminate with each flash of lightning. In the other direction...Swayambunath, the Monkey Temple, the colour of aged gold. Nights in Kathmandu are...sultry.

I've been slowly chopping away at images and video today...and STILL swathing through 'Shantaram'. I think I'm on page 400 and something. If the internet connection improves after midnight, as it usually does, I might be able to upload the  June 11th and 15th updates...as planned. We'll see.

Chris is safely at home in Irvine...as is 'Seattle Alex'.

I'm quite excited to see Episode 1 of the podcast for www.secretspot.tv posted ...and that should be happening very shortly. I'll keep you posted. I know that even if Chris misses Nepal...he is happy to be back to a high speed internet connection in Califonicatia. I also know that he is happy to be close to In and Out Burger as well. %^P

I'm hoping that people enjoy the podcasts as much as we enjoyed making them.

The rain is now pouring down in buckets...while I eat fruit and drink Chai tea. It's about time. It was awfully sunny and breezy today. Woe is the life of the Kathmandu tourist. %^)

Back to the grindstone...
