Jude arrived back from Nepal last Sunday night after an epic trip where he flew from Kathmandu to Delhi, then to Zurich and on to Denver. It took almost 36 hours door to door.

He was tired but in good spirits. He enjoyed his last few days at the National Park and then his two days in Kathmandu before flying out. He made a couple of American friends at the hostel and went out with them and just wandered around the city. He has had a quiet week at home as his body adjusts back to Denver time.

Meanwhile, Marcy and Anna left first thing on Monday morning to head to Greenville, South Carolina, for Anna’s first college trip. Marcy’s aunt and uncle (who are basically the same age as Marcy) live in Greenville, so Marcy and Anna stayed with them the first night. They both went to Clemson, so they were happy to sell Anna on how great their alma mater is.

Clemson is number one right now

They visited Clemson, Charleston, UNC Wilmington, UNC Chapel Hill and NC State. Of the five colleges, Anna said that Clemson was her favorite. She said NC State was her second favorite. She loved the feel of both campuses, and they also have a great cheerleading program.
