Air Buddha, Kathmandu, Nepal: Mount Everest and Himalayas Airplane Tour

Buddha Air, love the name. It takes you up above Mount Everest and the Himalayas, and I prayed to Buddha that we would not crash.

Ken loved it. A few weeks after we flew over Everest, we read the paper to learn that one of the few Buddha Air airplanes,  maybe the one we road, had crashed. An extended family from India died, traveling for a cherished trip together. Tragic. And, it freaked us out. We count this as our third close call on our year in Asia, behind Griffin's near death experience at the Malaysian jungle rapids and our KL condo explosion.  Still, we saw Mount Everest and won't forget it.                  July 4, 2011
