This is likely to be my final post to the blog for the next several months. I leave Kathmandu tomorrow morning for China and several months of travel in China's southwestern provinces: Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Guangxi.
I'm told that there is no access to Google-hosted websites throughout the PRC, so it appears unlikely that I'll be able to keep up the blog during my travels there. E-mail will be available and I'll do my best to remain in touch. Forgive me if I send group mails from time to time. You know how to find the "delete key" if you're not interested.
Thank you all for your friendship and love, Rick
