Saying Goodbye…Again

New relationships seem to break apart as quickly as they form. Lately, it feels like I've been saying goodbye a lot. Luckily, quite a few of the people are headed toward northern India at the same time as me so there's a possibility we'll meet up again. However small the chances, we all seem to enjoy the idea when it comes time to part ways.

Tatiana helps me earn another $5

On our last night together, Marie, Steven, Kevin, Stefan (Switz), Tatiana (Russia/US) and I met for dinner at the Hungry Feel restaurant. The service was often remarkably slow there, yet we were rarely in a rush. The power outage left us eating by candlelight as usual, which turns a rough looking place into something a little more intimate.

After dinner, we said goodbye. The next morning Marie was to start trekking the Annapurna Circuit, Steven was taking a bus to Kathmandu to begin a 10-day residential Buddhism course at Kopan Monastery, Kevin was to take a side trip near Pokhara, Stefan was hitting a river as part of a 4-day kayaking clinic, and I was about to embark on a 3-day whitewater rafting trip down the holy Kali Gandaki.

    Yeah it sucks saying goodbye but I’ll be surprised if you don’t meet again in India- India is huge but most tourists do the same track thru the north dont miss Jaisalemer
