We are making our way to Kathmandu. We first flew to Chicago. The winds were so severe in the Windy City that we couldn't land and were in a holding pattern for an extra hour. During our layover we took the L to the Loop with the plan of visiting the observation deck of the Sears (now called Willis) Tower, however when we got there we were informed that it was closed due to the high winds, so we got a bite to eat and then headed back to our flight to Delhi. We flew over Canada, then over the Atlantic and over Scotland. I thought of Geoff who is serving in Tonsberg, Norway, as we flew over Scandinavia. While we slept, we flew over Warsaw and then just south of Kiev, where the new temple is located. Next we passed over the Black Sea and the expansive Caspian Sea (caught a good view) and then over the -Stan countries. After flying over Afghanistan and Pakistan, we have now arrived in Delhi. The 2010 Commonwealth games have just concluded, so there are many signs heralding the games. The airport is very modern. We will spend the night here and then head to Nepal in the morning. Nameste!
