Viewing Post for: In the Footsteps of Buddha 2011

Date: September 20
Location: Back in Nepal

Wow ! This will be our last post.

All is well here. Some of us felt the earthquake and some did not. No damage where we were but here in Nepal there were some deaths. The people here all have stories about what happened to them.

We have two days in Nepal now to wind down before flying home on Thursday. That means a bit more shopping time.

We finished off in Tibet with sharing the temple with 100 chanting monks. We were very high above the valley at Ganden Monastery. Some of walked a kora, which is spiritual walk high on a ridge line circling the area. On part of it we lot a batch of incense and literally shouted from the mt top out to Tibet. We are learning more about the sadness and challenges of the Tibetan people in their life. Having not yet left Tibet as this is partially written we can not say more here.

We hope to see many of you on October 29 at the annual PPS reunion. There we can all share pics and stories.

We look forward to rejoining you, sleepy as we may be and sharing what this journey has meant to us.

Hey GG. Awesome picture! You created quite a flurry of worry over here with word of the earthquake. It's such a relief to know you and the group are well. Looking forward to seeing you back home.

Hi Kate, So relieved to hear you all are safe. I even called Bruce yesterday to see if he had heard from you. The quake appeared to have done a lot of damage. I feel so sorry for those who were adversely affected. Love you. Stay safe and well. Carrie

Good to hear you are all well, given the seriousness of the quake in NE India and Nepal. Hope you are recovering from this strenuous trip and enjoying your last few days in Asia. I'm off to Montreal for tomorrow's meeting. Sent the program to you by email if you're curious. Still no word from David, but he's alive back in Denver going to a concert judging from his tweets :). Look forward very much to seeing you Friday morning, although I'm guessing you'll be totally tired. Love, Neil
