Getting Settled








Well kids...I'm here! The journey was long...took about two days and a very long layover in Bangkok where I had the luxury of sleeping in a hotel in the airport. I arrived in Kathmandu and stayed there for one night. Got to ride on the back of a motor bike and get two kurtas (shirts) so I could have something to wear. Kathmandu was amazing and very dusty.

The next day I flew to Dhangadi and have been here ever since. The first week I lived with the Finnish family and the week after I moved into the guesthouse next door. We don't live in the city or the complete countryside....it's a mixture of both. I am really liking it so far. Definitely having cold showers and making meals without a microwave but I actually enjoy that. I like learning how to do things differently and the challenge makes life more interesting. We had a big storm the second night I got here and the internet cable was damaged...so limited internet excess, thus the few updates I have given some of you. More details to come...but here are some pictures for you to see where we live!
