Nepali Christmas/Valentines day!

Last weekend was a holiday for Krishna's birthday. Krishna is a Hindu god that apparently had 600 wives. Anyway the women travel to his temple to either pray for husbands or if they are married to wish for long lives for their husbands.


A parade through the streets. These girls had to hold this position for over 3 hours.

The day Taylor and I decided to climb a mountain

This is the view from outside our apartment. We climbed to the top of the highest peak you can see in the distance.
Taylor and I from the top (4 hours later)
Sunset on the way down. We had to trek in the dark for an hour on the way home.
The villagers from at the top of the mountain at their temple. The lady on the far right taught us how to pray to the rocks inside.
My feet when I got home. Owch.
