Nepal 1–Lauren

We made it to Nepal! It feels like our second home. We arrived Monday afternoon. We are staying with the Adhikari’s—they built a new house and we have two rooms there. It’s a little farther out from town, and the city lights and the hills from their roof at night is so pretty. It also means that there are bigger bugs. We had a spider in the bathroom the size of my palm!
We spent most of Tuesday at Pharakilo Ghar/Spacious Place. Most of the kids are back in their villages for the Dashain festival school break—a whole month! We hope many will come back before we leave, but it was really nice catching up with Suna, Kopila, and Kasiram. There were a couple of other new kids that we are looking forward to knowing better soon.
Wednesday morning we picked up my parents at the international airport and then walked over to the domestic one for our short flight to Pokhara. We’ve been exploring the lakeside area, picking up last minute gear, paddle boating, and eating lots of good food. It’s been great to see the kids connecting—they are having a great time.
Tomorrow we start our Annapurna base camp trek! We are planning for 8 days of hiking, staying at different tea houses each night. We will see how it goes!Meer informatie
