Today we worked a downhill monutain bike race here in the foothills of Kathmandu. We taught first aid, trauma management, and CPR to race volunteers, and we even got a chance to utilize some of our skills, as there were many crashes, and a few cuts and scrapes that were tended to. The bikers are crazy! This hill is steep, fast, rocky, and bumpy--pictures can do no justice when shooting a 45 degree angle.
Farewell from Kathmandu. The other four volunteers leave for home tomorrow, and I am pressing on to trek to Everest Base Camp for the next two weeks. Will have no on-line contact during this time period, but will get everyone caught up with some great photos in two weeks.
