5 minute walk = at least 20 minute hike
1 hour bus ride = 3 hour bus ride through winding roads on the top of the bus
1 wedding = 6 days trapped in the mountains
a few hours in Thamel = all day spent in the office with no electricity
i am punctual . . nepali time has been a big adjustment
Tomorrow is Shiva Ratri (i think thats the spelling). . . a city wide festival to the god of destruction . . . should be fun! tried getting pics up on this blog but it has just been absolutely impossible! sorry everyone
its getting warmer, the tourist season is approaching (us at the house have deemed ourselves "volunteers" NOT tourists) . . . so things will change around here.
just handwashed my laundry today and took a much needed shower heated by a tank of gas sitting in the shower with me :)
There;s mountains just outside my backyard that i will be climbing next week, one has a temple at the top!
hopefully i will be posting more frequent updates now that things have started to settle!
