Anyhow, I had the impression they used each others temples. That doesn't make
much sense, and I don't know why, but anyhow, we visited some of the temples.
Mary was Catholic, and I'm a Presbyterian. Whenever on a trip, she always insisted
on going to Mass on Sundays. So we happened to be in Nepal on a Sunday, and we
located a Catholic church and school. We took a taxi cab to the church, which was
in a remote area, for Mass. I didn't pay him. I asked him to wait for us. When we
came out of church, he was nowhere to be found. For a while we sort of felt
stranded there, but someone that we had casually talked to must have seen us
looking lost and took us back to the hotel. Several times, I went out and looked at
the taxi line trying to find that guy, so I could pay him, but never did find him. So
that was, I guess that was the most exciting thing that happened in Nepal. We
bought a rug and some jewelry.
But when we came back, we flew back to Dacca to get on our flight starting out
around the world. When we got there the airport was jammed. There was a big
pilgrimage going to Mecca. All of the families, whoever was going, the rest of the
family came down and the place was really crowded. We felt fortunate when we got
out of there on our flight. I guess we headed for Thailand. We were on a Thai
airline and went to Bangkok, Thailand. We spent several days there. Mary always
complained that I traveled too much for the Corps. She was always saying I was
traveling all of the time. So when we got the chance, she got all of the travel she
wanted.

It's a little difficult during the school year because the kids are still young.
