Sleep, Eating, Life

Monsoon has come. It rains everyday for the most part. It usually rains from the night on into the morning, clears up for a bit and then starts again at night. And, unfortunately, mold (monsoon season's side kick) has come for a visit in our house too. Awesome.
Getting ready to hit the hay after a great day of training. We're pretty wiped, but I did get to take a SHOWER!
Nick is out. It's amazing how much more we could allow ourself to sleep when we are out of station teaching! Nick is usually the first one gone. He sleeps much better during these times than me! If the fans aren't going then I am not sleeping!
This place has been a great place to stay! They always have a bed set up for us and mosquito net with it too! Amazing, b/c mosquitos LOVe my skin. So, we are putting up the pretty pink net before we go to bed. Can you spy nick?

Below: Part of breakfast. I love the fruit here, b/c they usually just walk into their back yard and pick it! These are the biggest bananas we have ever seen! Maybe I'm just not seasoned my my different types of bananas, but these were the winners!

Good morning to all,

I hope this post finds you on a good note! Nick and I just returned from doing a training. When we go and train, we are usually gone about 3 days. Any longer than 3 days in some places, I about go crazy. WHy you might ask?

1. I am stuffed to the brim with rice. It's custom to finish your plate. That's A LOT of rice. Plus, stuff I usually am not too amazingly fond of. Don't get me wrong, I love the traditional indian/nepali food, but sometimes a family will make a "special" food and it doesn't end up feeling to special when it gets digested.

These cultural moment have provided many highlights of our time here! Nick and I will have stories to remember for the rest of our lives. Like, how do I get out of eating this? How do I get out of drinking this? Sheer panic when you see a fish head get put on the plate next to you and you are thinking, ...."this is it, this is the end of the line for me!"

We went and visited for the last time in a certain place where we had been investing in. THey LOVE to cook for us. I will say that these people are the MOST HOSPITABLE people ever! They would do anything for you! But, selfish me, who likes her inverter comfort food, still is ever so ready to board that train and chug my way home!

Nick's mom and aunt are coming this weekend to visit for a few days, so this time, I was a little more anxious than not to get home.

We love, love, love going and visiting the fields where we work!
