Safe Arrival in Kathmandu

Hi, this is Sue, Jim's wife. He has arrived safely in Kathmandu and due to a break in the weather, they got the first flight out to the airstrip where they began the trek to the village of Tapting. He has called twice from the Satellite phone so that is working well. He called this evening at 7:45 which was around 5:30am in Nepal. He was looking down on a beautiful terraced landscape. He is hoping to post pictures when they reach the village and get out of the rain. He is the first westerner to travel to this village in perhaps 10 years, so is causing quite a stir. There are school children who have never seen a westerner....how amazing! He asked me to post this until he can get to the village and begin to be in touch via the computer.
