I am writing to you from an internet place in
Thomel District, Kathmandu. Everything is well here. The travel here
took two full days and we got in Kathmandu on Saturday.We had to sleep
in the airport in Abu Dhabi but it was okay. Plus, it was super cool to
be in another country!!! We have done so much already in the few shorts
days we've been here. We have done a lot of walking around to the
different shops and talking with street venders. Yesterday we went to
someone's shop and he invited us in for chai and we talked about his
belief in Krishna (a sect of Hinduism). Don't worry, I'm not going to
convert. ;) We visited Pashupathima (Hindu temple) as well as the Monkey
Temple (Buddist temple). They are very dark places to be.
We are staying in a very nice hotel that is only 6 months old. There are no cockroaches and no squatty-potties! The electricity goes out literally every day, if not twice a day because it is Nepal. :)
I have had so much curry in the past few days, it is unbelievable. I have not gotten sick either or had diarrhea, PTL! Our team is doing well and bonding together. We enjoy being with each other, so I pray that remains. :)
You would not believe the city blocks and streets here. There is traffic all the time, but only sometimes it is better than other times, but it is always busy. We are stared at all the time, and people are always approaching us to sell us something. It has become the norm for us here. Because we are staying in the "tourist" district, there are a few westerners here, but not many. They are here mainly for the hiking and to experience Mt. Everest.
Well, I must bid you farewell! Don't worry, I am well and soaking up everything. I will have many pictures and stories to share when I come back.
Namaste!
