Inspires me to be fearless, she does...
A friend of mine recently did something so completely out of character that I am still in awe. Without months of planning, discussion, and the usual travel preparations, she up and took off to spend three weeks in Nepal. When I got her email ("Hi, I'm leaving tomorrow for Nepal for three weeks!") I pictured her at the Nepal Hilton sunning by the pool in Chanel sunglasses. After reading excerpts from her travel diary (and some others through email), I couldn't have been more wrong (wronger?).
She trekked. She saw burning bodies. She was violently ill. She was nearly attacked by a rogue band of monkeys...there's more, but I'll let you read (and see) for yourself.
Ida is my new idol.
Huh... whuh... wait a minute???
ReplyDeleteIs that... no... wait...
Oh. My. It is.
Oh my. Ida, child. Oh my. You have me tongue-tied, my new hero.
Good God. Yeah, that sounds like the vacation from hell. What a brave gal!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just saw her tonight and she said the raging typhoon and lack of power made her feel right at home!
ReplyDeleteWow! How brave to travel all by yourself. That is a great travel blog by the way. All I can say is wow!
ReplyDelete"Back in Black" is the official song of our mutual admiration society, K-LO. You down with that?
ReplyDeleteJemima - I'd like to meet you someday.
Jason - You're funny!
"Back in Black," definitely. Because you are a BAD ASS.
ReplyDeleteDuh.
ReplyDeleteWhat they all said!
