Back home.

From the hustle and bustle of the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, Nepal...

Dr. Sandy ji & Dr. Matt ji ready to negotiate the throng of people at Tribhuvan!

To the "hustle and bustle" of the Valley International Airport, Harlingen, Texas...

Ahh...home sweet home!

It is always a good feeling to get back home after another busy, productive field trip, and especially after 4 to 5 flights and approx. 40 to 45 hours spent in airplanes and airports.

I guess the 'icing on the cake' was to find the only taxi at the Valley International Airport was already booked! Luckily, I knew the driver by first name (he has previously taken me to/from the airport on several occasions in the early/late hours of the morning/evening, respectively), so he came back to pick me up as quickly as possible.

Time to walk around a little and stretch the legs...

And enjoy the cool (for Valley standards) Autumn/Fall weather while waiting for my taxi to come back.
