Here are some of my favorite memories from the past month starting with our arrival in Nepal to landing in Bangkok, Thailand:

 

  1. front row seats to a gory goat beheading
  2. using the outdoor hand-pump to shower fully clothed while washing those clothes simultaneously
  3. teaching a health class on body systems and a science class on plant life to fifth graders
  4. teaching students Red Rover
  5. an impromptu walk through the village with an enthusiastic entourage of locals
  6. sleeping under a huge mosquito net every night
  7. peeing in the front yard
  8. doing laundry at the water pump pioneer style
  9. learning how to make samosas for dinner
  10. riding on the top of a public bus to our village
  11. climbing up to the roof of the school
  12. churning butter
  13. climbing prayer mountain
  14. showering outside at the pump when a storm hit, made it back to the room with sticks in my hair and covered in dirt
  15. loving on some street boys in Thamel
  16. bungee jumping off a bridge on the border of Tibet in the rain
  17. finding hidden treasures in random shops in Thamel
  18. riding in a trolley crammed with packs and singing Our God to the taxis following us in Bangkok
