First Day!

So we have all arrived in Kathmandu without any troubles! We all met up and got to our hotel in one piece.
Yesterday we roamed around Tahmel the tourist district of Kathmandu and I can say I am throughly excited by the amount of Euro-hippie population that is here buying gypsy pants in the off season. We had water buffalo steak for dinner and continued our romping around the city. The weather is actually not too bad, it is more sticky than Tucson could ever imagine being, but not overly hot because it has been very cloudy. Yesterday we did not seen any monsoon and we shall see what today holds for our rain jackets and I can find out if mine is actually waterproof.
This morning Lindsey and I took a walk around town and managed to get lost to some extent but I would call it catching up with the city. We also were blessed without consent (aka he wanted us to pay for our blessing and informed us how lucky we were after he grabbed our wrist and tied the red and yellow string around it) by a man all dressed up in the Hindu garb. It was bound to happen and now we are a little more apart of the culture.
We are so excited to teach soon! We will keep you updated with our mishaps and excitment!
