We went on our trek but had to cut it a little short because Matt got sick and almost died but he is much better now. The trek was still pretty awesome seeing the snow covered Annapurna Mountains and meeting all the mountain people in there villages that we stayed at. A medicine man in Ulleri mixed Matt up a concoction of all the trees and herbs and whatever in the forest to help. It didnt help but it was still a cool experience. Our Christmas day was good once we arrived back in Pokhara--nice dinner and awesome gelato. Yesterday we visited the International Mountain Museum to look at some pictures of people with frostbite that had completed Everest. It was neat. We are just hanging out in Pokhara today going to go kayaking on the Phewa Tal lake and getting a special Nepali massage. Tomorrow we will return to Kathmandu and meet with Ben's friend Deepak. Love, Lindsey and Matt

Namasteeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hello everyone,
We just got back from 3 days in Chitwan National Park where we got to ride elephants and see monkeys, rhinos, and alligators! Matt was almost eaten by the alligator. We got to visit a little village near the park where there were so many nice Nepalis and cute little kids that followed us. Chitwan was so relaxing and we got a chance to meet a ton of other tourists from around the world who were on their own crazy adventures.
We are now in Pokhara, next to the Phewa Tal lake just relaxing; we are starting our four day trek (part of the Jonsom Trek) tomorrow. After that we are off to Kathmandu for a couple more days before departing for India.
We love it here and are having the time of our lives. We might just decide to not come home.
These computers are unbelievably slow so maybe no pictures yet, we'll see how it goes. We are trying to post one at Swoyambutanth Temple and the other is at Chitwan National Park. Yeah nevermind these computers are stupid.
