Day 1 and 2

Nepal sure does seem prettier than Delhi. At least Kathmandu does. It is so green and lush. Plus there are mountains. This is the rainy season so we are unable to see the Himalayas. We saw a few peaks from the airplane but didn’t take any pictures.

Our guesthouse was a little hard to find. It is actually not a legal guesthouse so there was no sign up to say that we found the right place. Once we found it, we decided to go try the near by restaurant that we were told had great pizza. And it was GREAT. There was canadian bacon and pineapple.

Day 2 was Sunday. We started the day going to church. It was a good message and we met some interesting people. There was a team from Singapore that led the music time. The people behind us were from Costa Rica and they knew some of the same people that we know. And Micah’s counselor from camp was there. So Micah was excited to see him and spend a little time with him playing Ultimate Ninja.

After church we walked to another recommended restaurant. On the walk, we stopped at a store to buy some sugar for coffee at the guesthouse. I was surprised to find Dr. Pepper. I bought four cans. Then we made our way to the restaurant. It is called Sing Ma. It is a combination of Singaporian food and Malaysian. We all enjoyed our meal.

After lunch we walked down the street to a donut shop. We were all looking forward to donuts. This shop is called Hased Donuts. It is run by a Korean family. Very good donuts.

After donuts we made a quick stop to buy some videos. We got Kung Fu Panda 2 (which doesn’t work), Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver’s Travels, and A Bee Story. Then we walked back to the guesthouse and Micah was excited to realize that the guesthouse has a DVD player so he could watch one of his movies.
