I don't have the attention span to write a whole lot tonight and we have definitely been keeping busy. Word on the street is Kevin is preparing a massive post. Still awaiting its debut.
On Saturday, we woke up at 5 to head to Thamel (the tourist district of Kathmandu) to begin our weekend expedition to the city of Pokhara. Advocates of "winging it", our plan was to magically find a bus to take us to Pokhara, and then stumble upon everything we could possibly want to see. It worked pretty well and, best of all, I also magically got over my sickness.
The trip was a huge success for Alan, Kevin, Chloe, and I. Lars went on another adventure with the rest of the volunteers. We got back Sunday night, and got right back into our programs on Monday. Here are some pictures from the trip:
Our first stop was Devi Falls. |
After visiting the Tibetan Refugee Camp, we found a quaint little river to do some swimming. |
We woke up from our cockroach infested (the room was only $7, worth it) hotel room to some crazy views in the morning. |
We found a place to rent some bikes before we left on Sunday. Kevin and Alan got motorcycles, while Chloe and I stuck to scooters. The rental came out to $4 a person for an hour, including gas. |
I just created a Flickr account that I will start posting high quality pictures on. Alan has his collection on Flickr as well. Bookmark our pages!
