It seems like the past few weeks have really flown by. And I'm sure the next 7 will also. There's so much more I still want to see while I'm here, including a weekend in Pokhara.
Every day is basically the same for me. Wake up around 7ish and get ready for the day. We head over to the CDC between 9-930 and are there until about noon. One thing I've had to adjust to is taking my showers in the afternoon. The sun heats the water so it's really only warm (sometimes) in the afternoon/evening. The first week I took a shower first thing when I woke up and it was so cold I haven't done it since!
While our breakfast and lunch is provided for us we are on our own for lunch. The past week or so I haven't really gone out to eat. Today we went to a tiny little restaurant around the corner from the house, the Buddha Cafe. While I had no clue what the items on the menu were, I just ordered something random and hoped for the best.
So I ended up with a plate of fries, the Veg Pakoda and a sprite. All for 150 rupees or $1.50
While the fries were good the veg pakoda was just okay. Valentina had some sort of stew with tortillas that looked delicious, I'll definitely be ordering that next time.
This weekend a few of the girls are going on a weekend trip to somewhere in the Kathmandu Valley, I'm going to find stuff to do around here. Someone new comes on Saturday and three new girls next Wednesday so I'm sure I'll spend a good portion of time cleaning my room and getting it ready for someone to move in with me. We don't have any dressers or anything so I have all my stuff laid out on the other bed.
While I've been spending most afternoons at the house reading and doing other little things to keep myself busy, today I walked over to Thamel (the tourist district) and found a super cute little coffee cafe. I normally don't drink any sort of caffeine but I had a Cafe Latte that was delicious.
Miss you all at home!
