So we know we have not blogged in awhile and sorry from all of us, but you should know its from how busy we have been! A festival that we were unaware of put a small kink in our teaching plans and so we jumbled the schedule and now everything is going better than ever!
We went for a two day one night rafting trip, which was so much fun for all of us. On the first day it rained for basically the whole trip but we met a really fun group of Americans who were doing some work at a orphanage. One of the other American girls named Molly fell out of the raft and made for a sufficently fun rafting trip. The second day there were some English guys that joined the raft and it was sunny the whole day.
When we got back we went right into teaching. We have been teaching everyday since Sunday and its been really fun. The kids here are very intelligent and catch on to our teaching right away. Sunday through Tuesday we taught at a 'college' which is the same as 11th and 12th grade to us. The kids were all very respectful. Tuesday evening and the past days including today have been at more boarding school type atmospheres and we have access to a pool. The teaching is really wonderful when we get to go in the pool. We are teaching little kids and older ones and every age really seems to absorb the information and get as excited as we are about it. Today we have two more lessons lined up one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We might take a trip to the zoo in our down time! The later lesson is supposed to be with lifeguards who are interested to see what we are taught by the Red Cross, but they went on strike a few days back so it is possible we will have to save it for a later date.
We hope all is well in the States! Nepal is so beautiful we just can't get over it on a daily basis, but the sun is just as harsh when it is out, Corey and I got very sunburned yesterday but now we remembered the sunscreen.

Wow Kelsey Awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys are having a great time.
The river nymph and her tendencies I see have brought yet another group to the river, but this time on the other side of the world, and without any brewskies :) As for the rest of the group, glad none of you guys fell into the water cause Kelsey would have had to show off her SAAA American Swimming Federation water sifting skills and rescue that high class Arizona ass!! haha jk... but rumor does have it that she has gills behind her ears like Kevin Costner.
I am proud of you all, kick ass out there, be safe, keep up the good work, and try and stay outta the hospitals! We will see you soon.
<3Miss you,
Drew
