it is evening now and

I'm standing here just below the roof waiting for the wifi to connect, which is always a fun game, in the Swargdari Hotel and Lodge in Lamahi, Dang district, Nepal. 

And I'm covered in a travelling layer of sweat because hot hot heat hot dust heat hot and I am looking up at the stars, a world away from everything. 

And I watched the sun set behind its glow of heat and dust, and the children waved hello from the roof next door, and the bus ride was only 10 hours, of which half were spent laughing hilariously because dehydration and heat and buses seem to do that to us. 

And I just...I can see the stars.
