_uacct = "UA-3483228-1";urchinTracker();It's been a couple months of working and traveling for me...across the country, up and down the county, visiting tiny villages and the crazy, big city of Kathmandu.I am back at home in Hetauda now for a few days before embarking on a new, but completely different journey. I'll be meeting up with my sister and mother in Kerala, India for Christmas. More on that later.Right now I am happy to be feeling better after about 6 weeks of being sick. I got what travelers and tourists normally get in Nepal...bacteria attack on my body from something in the water, the food.Turns out that when you have one of these bacteria things, you are miserable for a few days. Then you start to feel better again (and think, yeah!, I don't have to go to the doctor and take terrible antibiotics!). But, you only feel better for a day or so, and then it cycles back through again.Okay - so maybe this wouldn't beyourexperience. But was mine. When I got sick again for what seemed the 10th time and I was near the doctor in KTM, I decided it was time to finally give in. Turns out that taking the 2 different types of antibiotics they gave me was a very wise decision. I am starting to feel good again and think this time it will last.Above are pictures from the latest training our Leadership team facilitated at Nagarkot. We had folks from organizations working for social change withing the dalit, 3rd gender, people with disability, people living with HIV/AIDS communities.... It was a good group.The Himalayan peaks were always the main entertainment during our tea breaks. We'd all go out to the porch in the cold and just stare and sigh collectively.Ah....
