It's Been a While....

Well clearly I haven't been on this in a while.... so I hope I haven't lost any of my usual readers. For those of you that still visit this page, here's a summary of what I've been up to.

Projects Abroad volunteers usually work here in Nepal for a month or two, and as you can imagine.... people usually show up on the 1st and leave on the 31st. So with this past weekend being the month turnover from July to August, most of my friends that I've met since coming here have all gone home. It's kinds of sad, but I suppose that's the nature of travelling.

I haven't done anything too exciting since my last update, the Durbar square in Kathmandu was really nice as was the Garden of Dreams and the Monkey Temple.... other than that it's just been work and goodbyes over the past week. The boys at the MD centre are so much fun these days, even the most shy of boys there is now opening up and participating in all the activities. Yesterday I introduced Tee-Ball to them, which they seemed to enjoy.... my makeshift Tee didn't work so well (styrofoam block and a pop bottle).

I'm just going to be going about the routine this week, so drop me a line via email or facebook if you get the chance (and you know how much I love comments....). This weekend I think I'll be going to Patan instead of Kathmandu, so we'll see how that goes.

Hi Dawson, Just been catching up with your adventures, you have been busy riding on bus rooftops, walking through a monsoon, white water rafting and the funniest of all - on a diving elephant! Ganesh is my favourite Hindu god and I reckon he has a sense of humour too. I wonder if you hung on out of pure stubborness (or fear of being crushed by the great beast!)or whether you were favoured by the disgruntled creature.
We are enjoying your stories, lots of love cousin Maria & Jim (UK)
