Describe some of Kelly's experiences during her hiking trip to Nepal.

When Kelly was 29, she upset her parents when she decided to spend the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's hiking in Nepal. Kelly hiked up the mountain where the bus left her off. After about four hours, during which time she wasn't sure whether she was lost or not, she found a village where she rented a room. She watched the Nepal people in their normal everyday duties. There were merchants, farmers, people on bikes, and kids playing in the street. No matter what time anyone arrived at the settlement, dinner was at seven. Wood was scarce so they would only build one fire per day. The meal usually consisted of vegetables and lentils in gravy. Dinner was followed by tea and political discussions.
