The latest on Mowgli

He called!  He has left Tibet and is in Nepal now. In Tibet, he spent time in Gyaltang and Liming, where he did some "steep cliff climbing" and hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge up to 6000 meters. He talked to his dad for a little while yesterday before heading out to trek through the mountains of Nepal for a little over three weeks.  He'll be visiting small villages (that he assumes are out there but doesn't know for sure), a couple of  monasteries he's heard of, and he's hoping to see nomads.  He's with a group of six other Guilford College grads (college friends) and they have (thank you, God) hired a guide.  He'll call again when he gets to India in four weeks.
