We Made It!

We are in Katmandu. We arrived around 2:30pm on Thursday May 28th. It was quite an experience and trip so far. We left Munich and it took us only 6 hours and 45 minutes to get to Delhi India. We had a layover in Delhi for a little more than 5 hours. The only problem was Delhi's airport is the anti-thesis of Munich. Munich is very much up to date and seems to be very new. Delhi on the other hand was quite different. In their defense they are in the middle of constructing a new airport and it will be much improved. We had to stay in an area of the airport that was separated from the main terminal because we did not have boarding passes for our last leg of the trip. We did finally manage to get our boarding passes, had lunch at the SubWay airport and then boarded our plane for the final part of our trip. Unfortunately the air conditioning was not functioning properly and we were on the plane for at least an hour. It felt like a sauna. We did not complain out loud and our flight was only 30 minutes later than planned.
Bo met us at the airport then took us to our hotel. We showered, (well deserved since it has been since Monday night) and then Bo, Summer, Sopia, and Isabella picked us up and we ate pizza at Fire and Ice. We were joined by the other missionaries working in Nepal, Ryan and Kristen. They have twins Gracie, and Keane. Isabella slept the whole time and Sophia is precious. 
I cannot describe what the town of Katmandu is like nor what driving in the city is like. Maybe we will be abel to put pics on soon if not then we will show some when we return. 
Well, we are beat, jet lagged and plain ready for a good night's sleep horizontally. Until tomorrow!
