It's our final day in Nepal ... on to Darjeeling, India (famous for their yummy tea, which I am eagerly anticipating!) tomorrow. I'm ready to move on from the congestion of Kathmandu, but not quite prepared to leave the tranquility of the mountain villages which are already fading into memory's blur. It's little consolation to think that we're trading the "energy" of this city for the maddening chaos of India.
I knew it was inevitable ... just a matter of time ... the pressing urge to once again be a productive member of society. These past two months have been truly magical, and restorative on so many levels. But everyday the ache intensifies from a pent up energy to create, produce, DO something besides support the tourism industry. My body is now loudly whining for not feeding my running addiction, and my mind is quickly turning to mush. Interesting how easy it is to feel overstimulated on the perceptual level, yet so understimulated intellectually. As testimony to my very deep science-nerd roots, this morning was spent in the educational district, hunting down the best biochem textbook, and this afternoon passed ravenously reviewing acid/base chem over some delicious masala tea. I guess I should stop complaining, since life really cannot get much better than chai and science!
