Pokhara is beautiful, peaceful, and clean. I am looking forward to a few days of sightseeing and my trek. Since I had to get up early and catch me flight, I spent most of the day wandering the streets (and shopping again) and took a nice nap after my beer at lunch.
There was a major rainstorm for ½ hour, while I was at dinner. This is actually good news because I am going to mountain village outside of Pokhara to watch sunrise. The visibility will be better with the rain.
I have to be out of the hotel by 5am, take a 30 minute taxi, and hike 40 minutes to be at the viewpoint at 6:15am. I am looking forward to it. Yes, I can just hear some of you telling me I am nuts.
Namaste

About Me
- Paula Unplugged after 60
- I was the middle child of first born American parents of Italian descent. As expected in my generation, I married at 19 and had two children by the age of 23. I guess you can say I grew about with my children (as they remind me on a continual basis). I start college when we moved to Ca.. I received a BA and MSA and started my 29 year career in technology. My first job was with Hewlett Packard and from there I had numerous positions in technology companies until I co-founded my first company in 1996. Along the way I divorced, remarried, and became a grandmother (which is the real joy in my life, since I get to make up for all the wrongs I did as a young mother). As you can see my life was simple, non adventurous and I was always looking for adventure. After 60 I told myself that the second half of my life would be filled with adventure. Knowing that I am on a tight budget, I had to look at how I could fulfill my lifetime dream in a new and different way. I did not want to be saddled with rules and norms. This brings me to Paula Unplugged After 60.
