Namaste from Pokhara!

After 12 days in Kathmandu (including 6 days of teaching) we are now in beautiful Pokhara breathing nice, clean air. Teaching has been going great, we have been teaching at boarding schools where there are swimming pools so it is nice to really be able demonstrate everything. On Thursday, we conducted an impromptu LGI training for some gym lifeguards and Friday we taught additional rescue techniques to Nepali army men.

Today we explored the lake on some sweet rented moterbikes. It took a couple minutes to get used to laying on our horns like the Nepalese do, but we were into it by the end of our trip, eventually honking at all the hottie Euros as we drove by (Kelsey, Corey, and Ben, not me, of course.)

Our good buddy Youbraj has been so great setting everything up for us and showing us all the ins and outs of Nepali culture. He has taken us to all the local places to sample the best food and beverages Nepal has to offer. He introduced us to Nepal's wild card Olympic swimmer and proceeded to tell him that he should take me out to dinner. Thanks Youbraj.

Anyway, everyone is well and having fun: the mysterious sickness that affected Corey, Ben, and Kels went away pretty quickly so we will all be able to teach tomorrow (last day of teaching!) and enjoy the rest of the trip. Love you guys back home!
