"The past is history, the future is a mystery, the present is a gift" ~Kung Fu Panda via Anil Chikartar
So I had a couple of rough days, but I got back in the groove and things are definitely looking up. To sum it up my allergies got pretty bad, had a really stressful and difficult Tibetan quiz, and the ATM ate my debit card, and basically I was just exhausted. But I got a solid ten hours of sleep and felt much better.
Then two days ago we went on a field trip to the city of Patan - and had an awesome walking tour lead by Anil. He walked us through the actual living streets - off the beaten path through people's courtyards. Throughout the walk he explained and connected the infrastructure of the city, the history of the city and it's monuments, and the ongoing restoration and development of everything. He is definitely one of the highlights of this program. He is such an inspiring person, and every time he talks about Kathmandu I leave convinced that it is the center of the world.
Gotta give the computer back to Vanessa so I'll write more latter! Love ya!
