In a few hours we fly from Bangkok, Thailand to Kathmandu, Nepal (and we're super stoked to be joined by Brian's childhood BFF there!). While we aren't flying very far geographically, this flight is momentous as it signifies the end of our time in Southeast Asia. With the exception of 10 days we spent visiting our beloved friend Eric in South Korea, we've been in Southeast Asia since January 4th - almost 5 months ( if you count our time in the Philippines back in November then it's been over 5 months)!! [Steph's addendum 16 hours after this was posted: I clearly am a little travel weary and got my math and months all wrong. We were in Southeast Asia for 4, not 5, months.]
We're not expecting to have reliable internet while trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal, so it's going to be some time before we're able to share our most recent adventures in Myanmar/Burma with you all and to offer up some closing thoughts on Southeast Asia. But we think this is a good thing. It gives us time to absorb everything we've seen, heard, & experienced so that we can more deeply reflect on this physical, emotional, & spiritual journey that we're taking together.
We'll be in Nepal from May 1st through May 29th and will try to get stuff posted if & when we can, but it's possible that the next post will be after we've left the Himalayas and are instead in the 15th country of our trip ...drum roll... the SULTANATE of OMAN!
Love and miss you all! And an early Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there ... especially our own <3
