From Redondo to Nepal

Some time ago, we welcomed a new next door neighbor.  A blue-eyed blonde her name was Caryl and she was an industrial designer -- when you walked into a lavishly lobby in an office building, it may have been her work.

She seemed to have a boyfriend; they had a bad breakup and to soother her nerves, she took off  ro go trekking in the Himalayas.  While there she and Nima Sherpa fell in love.  He was a Sherpa with several climbs of K22 and Mt. Everest.   He was also 18 to her 32.   

She brought him home and we adored him.  Handsome, beautiful manners and a great sense of humor.  He was intelligent and learned our ways with fluid ease.

Time passed, they moved to Seattle and thence to running a B & B in the village of Chhuserma, Nepal.  Caryl adapted to her new life with ease and adoration.  She wrote a book about their romance, called, if memory serves "Earth Wind and Fire."

Recently she wrote in the newsletter that everyone in that village lost their home.  Google "Nepal EQ Newsletter" and visit the beyul.com to see the B & B which does look lovely (if you like mountain views.)
