Tamil Nadu Express!

OK, so I gotta make this quick, cause I gotta catch my train! I'm currently in New Delhi, preparing to leave for Andhra Pradesh. It's about 100 degrees here, and it's 8:30 at night! And, no A/C on the train. Sweaty train ride ahead.
The past few days have been incredible! The trekking guide, Saran, took Laura and trekking through the foothills of the Himalayas. We estimate that we trekked over 50 to 60 kilometers in two days...that's over 30 miles on foot! I don't think I've ever walked that far in my life! But it was worth it. We ate wild berries all along the way, and I must have eaten over 100! It was hard and very hot, but you don't get to see that side of Nepal by staying in the city.
This morning we took a bus back into the city. We rode on top of it, through the hills! (Mom: you know how you told me to not tell you when I've don'e something kinda dangerous, until after it's over...well, I made it :P). I wish I could post pictures, but this computer doesn't seem to hav a USB port available. Well, i gotta run, got a train to catch!
