From dredlocks to well, just more dreadlocks and traffic!
After spending about a week in Pokhara, by the lake, John and I are recharged and well ready for some Kathmandu time again. This morning we visited the India Embassy to try to get visas for India (which is quite the process and we'll have to go twice more to get it all sorted out!) and are now preparing for our course on Tibetan Buddhism.
I'm quite enjoying learning more and more about life in Nepal and any opportunity I get to see the non-touristy version, I'm game. Eating with one hand, I've discovered, is much more fun that using cutlery, and I much prefer public transportation. Though if I could get away with not wearing sunscreen like the locals, I'd be much happier!! :)
Not much else to report, besides lots of learning, exploring and taking in all the sights. Just wanted to include a short blog to keep somewhat current. So interesting here and looking forward to our upcoming adventures.
Many cheers,
And Namaste (of course!)
Kristy :)

hey babe! it's the halifax crew here. erin and andrew send their love of course. and happy easter! i know a boring old christian tradition but we had about 20cms of snow last saturday night and the remnants are still lurking. i think of you often, mostly in the morning when i consult the prayer flags for the status of the wind. someday the gale will abate and we will have summer, but alas i will miss it. right in the thick of finals now, and your quips and travel bits are just the trick to keep me upbeat. i'm really glad you're safe and having a fabulous time. love amy
