It's been 10 days in Nepal and I absolutely love it here. We are currently living in the monastary which is placed a bit higher up in the valley. So we are away from the chaos of the tourist district of Thamel. We have replaced the constant flow of honking with nuns praying and singing. The monastary is giving us lots of down time to just relax and catch up on some reading and writing. It's great we figure once we get to India we won't have an opportunity like th...

The night we got in we just stayed at the hostel for beer and food, both were so goo...

So my first blog... sorry it took so long, I thought I had all these ideas of what I wanted to say but I am finding it a little hard. There is so much I want to share and describe but cannot come up with the words. I also don't want to bore you with just lists of everything I have done.
