More on Langtang to come soon...
For those of you wondering about Melissa and I's experiences in the Langtang Himalaya, I plan to catch up on this soon, and to include photos. We spent two and a half weeks in the mountains, visiting Tamang villages and meeting deaf people near 24,000 foot Langtang Lirung. We were within ten miles of the Tibetan border at one point, and with newfound Dutch and Nepali friends, I got as high as I've ever been in my life-- above 16,500 feet at the summit of Tserko Ri, deep in the heart of the Langtang Valley. There I tied a white prayer scarf for my father and had an awe-inspiring view of the Langtang Himal all around me. Afterwards, we visited the holy alpine lake of Gosainkund and crossed a 14,500 foot pass on our return to Kathmandu. It was a wonderful trip, and while I'm focusing on working with the deaf kids at the Naxal School for now, I'm looking forward to when my research will take me back into the mountains in a few months.

Funny, I thought that I had seen you when you were as high as you'd ever been before. Oh, you mean elevation...my bad.
Franz, I remember you now. You're the guy who took my daughter far, far away to Nepal. Enjoyed reading your posts. Please keep them coming. It gives me some sense of what might be like. Dave
