Well, I finally made it back yesterday. I got stuck in Kathmandu for a few days, but it all worked out in the end. Five weeks on the road is a long time, but well worth it. Highlights of my trip were: Horseback riding in China with nomads, Rafting in Tibet (I did a class 4 rapid), Biking on the city wall in Xi'an, Seeing the panda's in Chengdu, Hiking to the base camp at Everest and making 8 new amazing friends. It was definitely a summer I'll never forget. Now it's back to work. My schedule looks pretty hectic this next semester, which is excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody in February. Anybody up for a trip to Thailand in December?
