Val's Adventures: May 2011
http://adventuresofval.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Quick update from Nepal. Now, I am sitting with Ralph in Pokhara, Nepal. After a trek around most of the Annapurna circuit. My favorite part was the pass day (Thorung La): a good steady trail to over 17.5k ft, beautiful views of the surrounding high mountains, a late lunch with yummy veg noodle soup, and finishing the day in lush Muktinath, visiting a few Buddhist temples and being calmed by the flowing waters. . More to come later! Sunday, May 15, 2011. So what is the plan? Http:...

Val's Adventures: May 2009
http://adventuresofval.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Life on Denali: the cold and the gear. The cold - -. They said this mountain would be cold. And I thought, hey, I’ve been up Everest, how cold can it actually be? They were right. It was cold. Definintely colder than I’d expected. That cold that comes from all the moisture in the air. The kind of moisture that would make your hair turn all curly were it not underneath three layers of hats and buffs. Start with your backpack. Friday, May 29, 2009. Two of us made it to the top (Jarosl...

Adventures of Manohar: August 2014
http://adventuresofmanohar.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. I just arrived. And already, time is moving quickly. I went from keeping my eyes tightly shut and sleeping most of the time to opening my eyes wide to look around or at you and having stretches of time where I am up. I went from having a floppy head that you always have to support to sometime holding it up a bit (especially when being burped over a shoulder). It doesn't feel very good, but Amma comes to the rescue. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Me at 21 months.

Adventures of Manohar: Six months: Solid food, tickles, and family
http://adventuresofmanohar.blogspot.com/2015/01/six-months-solid-food-tickles-and-family.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Six months: Solid food, tickles, and family. This month the big thing was that I had my first food! Anna and Appa were gone for the first part of the month, but then they came back! It is great to have them back. They both are fun. Appa makes fun sounds and faces to make me smile. Anna gives me hugs and kisses, spins me in my activity center, and brings me a rattle if I start to cry. I know I tend to say this every month, but it is true. I am getting a lot stronger!

Adventures of Manohar: Eight months: Curiousity, care provider, and a cough
http://adventuresofmanohar.blogspot.com/2015/03/eight-months-curiousity-care-provider.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Eight months: Curiousity, care provider, and a cough. A lot of things interest me these days, and my curious side can't help but try to explore them. Right now this mostly means things within my reach: spoons, cheeks, toys. Watch out if I get near your let-down hair (is this why amma always wears her hair back? Tacha is my new care provider at school. I like her (check us out in the picture, upper left). As a family we took a train into the mountains which was quite fun. We a...

Val's Adventures: Chief Guest in Nepal
http://adventuresofval.blogspot.com/2011/06/chief-guest-in-nepal.html
Monday, June 13, 2011. Chief Guest in Nepal. There were several moments that brought me to tears. Tears of joy and gratitude and love. The first was near the beginning. I had been to the home of Sita Tharu already,. The 16-year-old Room to Read girl scholar whose home was humble, but clean. Where she lived with her brother and younger sister, but not with her mother who had died of stomach cancer, and not often with her father who worked for most of the year in India to support them.

Val's Adventures: October 2009
http://adventuresofval.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. A different span of a day. 5:20pm, Day X:. Speeding down the hill from Marangu, Tanzania, no seatbelt in sight, listening to Kenny Rogers in the bus (reminds me of my grandpa, "you got to know when to hold 'em"), getting slightly spit on by the rain coming in through the window, feeling soooo happy to be off of my feet (it was a long hike down 9,000 feet that day), and drying out (again). 5:20pm, Day X-1:. 3pm, Day X:. 3pm, Day X-1:. 12pm, Day X:. 12pm, Day X-1:. 9:15am, Day X:.
