Journal Entry:
In the morning we said goodbye then I dropped Amy off at her work. It's always hard to say goodbye, but this one was easier since I'll be meeting her in Seattle in a few days. I got lost trying to find the freeway so by the time I found a freeway it was I-880 and I had to fight a half hour's worth of traffic to get back where I wanted.

The drive to my other friend Amy (B.)'s house was pretty quick and painless. I got there about 11:30, but the gate was locked (she lives on a private road), and my mobile phone was out of range. So I had to get back on the freeway and drive a few exits back to get a signal. Called Amy (B.) and returned with the secret combination. I called the travel agent to find out what the deal with the airline promotion is. It turn's out it looks like it's going to work. Better actually as now it's $40 cheaper and we're flying out of Katmandu instead of having to return to Delhi. Amy and I spent the afternoon on a long walk down to and along the Sacramento River with her three dogs. We were looking for the remains of an Indian village that is supposed to be in the woods, but we never found it. After are walk we hung out and talked and looked at some photos (mine and hers). After dark we went in to Red Bluff for Amy to do some shopping and then get dinner. While in town my phone actually had a signal so I was going to call Amy (V.) to let her know the good news, but with her psychic powers she called me first. We had a great Mexican dinner (and Margaritas!) then spent the rest of the night back at her house with a video.
