Everyone needs a vacation visiting a country where the people do not have the conveniences that we sometimes take for granted.
Traveling to India to see the Taj Mahal and then on to Kathmandu, Nepal for hiking in the Everest Region! It was a wonderful experience learning about the lifestyle and culture in Nepal.
Feeling welcome in this country as I learn about the Hindu religion and Buddhism beliefs. Being allowed to watch in sacred ceremonies and meeting Monks in the Monasteries and receiving blessings from the Head Lama and attending an annual Sherpa celebration where the Monks danced traditional dances with masks and colorful costumes to interpreting a story or belief.
Now I am back on Daniel Island, back to work, but with a different outlook on life in general. I hope to never take our pleasures for granted and to always be grateful for what we are given and for what we have.
