Strike Continues

We are now on day 7 of a 3 day strike, which has shut down all transportation, shops, and schools. Nobody knows how long it will continue, but I am told that the government is meeting with the strikers in 2 days. Meanwhile, I cannot go anywhere and I have essentially no access to to the internet. Nonethless, I am fine, though life is a bit boring because of the strike. The girls and Sabita, the didi, are taking excellent care of me.

I can't wait until I can write more and access email. For now, just know that I am okay and learning to live without communication (except with Michael and Sushmita in Kathmandu), without news, without entertainment, and without toilet paper. : )
