They became fast friends and housemates, and share many adventurous Kathmandu memories including mountain biking, momos and meeting Parmila, the love of Alan's life.
Decades later these boys' wives connected through facebook, which is how Parmila and Alan in Hong Kong learned we would be in Kathmandu. Their HK flight landed not too long after we returned from our trek, and we had a blast zipping through Kathmandu's memory lanes and dusty alleys.
Married 20 years ago today. ♥
Happy Anniversay!

"Mike's Breakfast"
No more tuk-tuks in Kathmandu (bittersweet news, that was), so we settled on this tuk-tuk-like bus.
A large number of us fit in there, especially considering a number of us were large!
We found Allan's old house, and then his old landlord who remembered them both.
On their old porch.
The shop where they used to buy their tankas. Same artist was still there.
Lunch above Durbar Square
Nick and Allan were regulars at this momo restaurant. It was yum!!
Pretty fun to come back 17 years later and people still recognize you.
Kathmandu occupies a special place in my heart, and the new memories we made with Allan & Parmila made that place even sweeter.
Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Au revoir, Nepal!
