Kathmandu for a couple weeks

I have been here in Nepal for about two weeks now and I'm enjoying it. Thankfully I haven't got really sick yet too. I have been taking Nepali lessons in the morning and enjoying that though it is challenging. -Ma nepali sikchu "i study Nepali" is what most of my days consist of. I have lessons at 10:30 am and then study much of the day in an an office all bundled up in a coat, hand warmers, hat and down slippers. It's cold here and we have only sometimes have electricity! Below are some pictures of my visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square and the Royal Palace.
We head to the far west next week and I'm so excited to see some old friends. If you want more descriptive updates message me your email!
