Our airplane.

In the airport in Pokhara, catching our flight to Jomson. Security consists of going into a room and getting a brief pat down. Gents in one room, ladies in another.

A boy getting a skin graft on the back of his leg. He fell out of a tree.


The stone that was removed from a 30 y/o woman by a laparoscopic pyelolithotomy.
The first time that procedure has been done in Nepal.


In the OR in Chitwan hospital.

The out house. You better have strong legs so you can squat the necessary length of time.

The buffalo and calf that Caleb and Blake lived above in the village.

A spider the size of your hand near the villiage.
