Matt had a wonderful trip to Northern India and Nepal. Despite the Rhesus monkey attacking him, a bat flying into his head, and a nasty bee sting on his back, he came back home to us relatively unharmed. His travel partner stated if a water buffalo crossed their path, he was not going to be anywhere near Matt. Matt swears the monkey was King Kong but I'm sure it looked more like this (picture to right).

Meeting the op forces in India. I won't tell the whole story of how Matt's passport went missing from his pocket and a little Indian boy ran up to him and told him it was missing. At least the passport was turned into security and Matt was able to get to know the border patrol men.
