The past day and a half has been riddled with sickness. It started off with Ben throwing up in the morning and missing out on our afternoon lesson. We did not take the trip to the zoo because as Kelsey had stated before we taught some local lifeguards lifeguard things which went very well. Our afternoon lesson was cancelled and then quickly replaced with another one thanks to the great help from Yubraj and the Nepal Swim Association. Because of him we also made the local newspapers, telling of our efforts to teach and train children in water safety! There is supposed to be another article today complete with pictures but we have not picked up a copy of that yet to confirm. During the afternoon lesson yesteday I began to feel a little sick, which quickly turned for the worst. After the lesson Yubraj insisted that we see the largest stuppa in the world. I was a little reluctant because my health was quickly falling but I did not want to ruin the trip for Kelsey and Lindsey. After a 45 minute walk through some very busy streets we finally made it to the stuppa. We walked around it once and were planning on heading back to the hotel when Yubraj then proceeded to take us to a local eatery for some food. At this time Kelsey was also not feeling well and Lindsey recognized that we needed to get back to the hotel sooner than later. To make a long story short Lindsey has been the only healthy one for the past day. Ben had a trip to the hosiptal by himself while we were gone last night but is feeling much better today. I am feeling slightly better and I think Kelsey is as well.
Our spirits are still high and we head to Pokhara tomorrow! Good things are sure to come, including teaching lessons in the lake. More to come later!
