Photos on a roll

Just a couple of other photos while the cyberspace god is smiling. The one above is of a sweet young woman who invited us to her house when she met us out walking. We had to cross this Iron beam to get to her place, can't believe I did it, even if it was hardly any drop.
And the photo to the left is of the Ani working on little prayer offerings. They are wrapping yarn around prayers that have been wound tightly around a small stick. The prayers are used to put in and on or around statues. I helped, and it was a lot of fun. There was music, Hindi, and lots of trash food like chips and things, it was fun.

Mary, Happy Holidays. I'm here in San Diego with Ninsy, Andy and Lana. We had Alaska king crab dinner last night (Xmas Eve), opened gifts and went out to ElCajon today to be with Andy's family. Saturday, we'll be having Ninsy's 3rd Annual Quinn Family Christmas Moose Milk fete. Tuesday we're all going to the Holiday Bowl (Oregon vs. Oklahoma St.) It's a real Amerikan happy holiday the whole nine yards, then I'm back to Mackay to finish out my finish up year before heading out there for a while. Hope you're still having a lot of fun, how's the culture shock after a coupla months? Mele, Mele, and lots or me kealoha -- I bet you're getting excited about Everest. I think I'll be driving NYE and NYD. That'll almost be a first. Lots of love, Willy F.

Merry Christmas, Merry Kwin! So sorry to hear about sinus. Edie has it too, only we don't have those nice clinics here in NYC that you have in Nepal. Can pleez send some antibiotics back to the states? Spent XMAS on Nantucket, where the wind blew 50 kts all night XMAS eve, rattling windows and shaking house. No skeeters, tho. Love the pictures. Pls don't shave head...shave ice, okay; shave head, no okay. Lot's of holiday love from Posie, Edie, Bea & Bobby.
