Dear Family & Friends:

Thanks to the generosity of Kelly & Vinny, two of Amy & Simon’s dear friends, Mingma was able to participate in the 80th birthday celebration of His Holiness The Dalai Lama. This meant so much to Mingma and his family in Nepal. His elderly mother was especially pleased. Here is a short clip with Mingma’s video and photos from the event:

For our last dinner with Mingma, we ate at the Himalayan Grille in Huntington Beach. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and our time-together with Mingma. This morning, I took Mingma to the airport. His next destination is San Francisco.

Thanks to everyone who made this trip so special for Mingma.
