For Page’s 5th Birthday she wanted to do a pool party with her friends and then a pizza party. We all met at Redwood Estates pool and swam up a storm then we came back to our house for pizza and cake. In the morning we opened her pressies. Sienna bought her a dinosaur “Raaaawwr!” Lots of legos, Barbies and her first American Doll, Grace. She was so excited. Fun day, such good kids.

We made it home, still getting used to the time change. It was sooooo good to see Sienna and Brendan, they snuck up on us in the airport and Sienna had the biggest laugh when she saw us. Crazy how much they grow up in just a few weeks.

A couple last stops before we get on the plane to go home. We toured Patan Durbar Square that very badly damaged by the earthquake. The damage is so extensive everywhere. It will take a miracle to rebuild everything that has been lost.
Last but not least we went to the Rum Doodle Bar – its where those who have climbed Everest come for a free meal to celebrate their climb. Sadly, it was closed because of the earthquake and is forced to vacate the building with its future location unknown. It was made famous when Sir Edmund Hilary when he went there in 1953 after his summit and he signed the wall. The walls are covered by signatures of those who have summited any of Nepal’s famous peaks. There were a few guys there and they let us sit at the bar and have a drink. They told us their stories of Everest. Hopefully they can reopen again.
And we are off to the airport and will hope to be home in 24 hours. So long Nepal!
