Hello to all our long-lost friends and family,
We left our placement in Chitwan and headed to Bandipur, where we visited the same guesthouse for the 4th and 5th time! We have made it good with that family--the first day we returned they invited us to eat dinner with them and I think they were very proud of our accomplishments in learning Nepali.
The next few days we spent with our new friends, who we are currently in the works of helping them to start an Orphanage. We had such a good time with them too. We helped them to carry firewood and cook a traditional Nepali meal (which, after weeks on end of training in a wooden Nepali Kitchen over a bamboo fire, Marcie has been able to turn some serious tricks.) We just get along with them so well it's hard to believe we come from such far away places on the globe.
Saturday morning we snuck into church (only) an hour late (at 9 am). We were hoping to blend in at least a little which was easy to do in a room full of people. However, when Lydia, who is our friend's six month old baby, saw us, her whole face brightened and she flashed us a toothless grin.
The next day the Pastor and our friend took us to Pokhara where we ate and slept like a king and queen, went for boat rides, and hung out. It was so great, we were laughing a lot. We feel so welcomed by these people, it's ridiculous.
The next few days would mark the start of one of the most challenging and exciting times of our trip so far...also the reason why our parents have not been receiving too many e-mails(...sorry about that...) we were a little far from technology of any kind...
