Greetings!
We're back in Nepal
(This is the hospital and school, with Banepa in the background.)
...after a wonderful family vacation!
This coin (showing it and the flip side here)
is the one in the title.
OK, the recap:
First we flew to Doha

and then to Miami. Yes, it's a loooong flight!

Next we were on our way to Paraguay, via Sao Paulo.

For those who may recall, Ramon's mom is very ill, and that visit was very important.
However, visiting our family and friends there was fantastic and the time flew by too quickly!
As we waited to board in the airport in Asuncion, we enjoyed listening to this fellow,
who often is there in the departure lounge.
So we flew back to Miami, via Sao Paulo again, then on to Maryland,

where we got in more visits
with family and friends, and we wouldn't trade those visits for anything!
The snow was an added bonus!
Before we knew it, it was time to fly back to Nepal!
First we had to go back to Miami.
Then of course, backtracking, we flew to Doha, and then Kathmandu.
As I've mentioned before, to visit our families, there and back, it's over 29.000 miles.
Well, we FINALLY landed in Kathmandu, put our luggage on a luggage cart, and Ramon
threw his Scottevest jacket, yes, the one with 17 pockets, onto the luggage.
The flap that covers the zipper opened up.
There it was--a Paraguayan 1000 Guarani coin--sticking to the magnet!
Now, that is a REAL magnet! That coin had to have been there since we were in Paraguay!
We certainly didn't use Paraguayan Guarani currency anywhere else!
He wore the jacket on every flight, and even put it up in the overhead compartment at least once.
OK, so that coin stayed stuck to that magnet from:
Asuncion to Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo to Miami
Miami to Baltimore
Baltimore to Miami
Miami to Doha
Doha to Kathmandu
MAN! I'm not sure that Scottevest knows it has such strong magnets!
Yes, Ramon loves his jacket, and his only complaint is the same one others have--
with so many pockets, it's hard to remember where he put things!
Well, if you're in the market for a jacket with pockets and magnets,
we recommend checking out Scottevest's jackets!
Have a nice and blessed day!
