After living in Pokhara
for about 5 weeks on and off, I will finally venture out back to Tansen. As always, Pokhara is always so laid back and the food here is great, people are great, scenery is great
, there's not much reason why I should leave except for work!I've met great people
and have had a chance to learn more about leprosy and other how an organization such as Green Pastures work and also had a chance to reflect on how I would like to work in such capacities. All is not work though, last weekend decided last minute to go on a 3 day rafting trip along the Kali Gandaki river. We had fair rapids, although sometimes they were a bit too exciting and we did flip some rafts along the way. The best part was camping on the secluded beaches and hanging by the campfires at the end of a long rafting day and eating great dinners.When we arrived back to POkhara, we were greeted with massive throngs of people because of the Nepali New Year (Happy 2066!!). There was a huge fun fair set up with a questionable motorcycle derby ring and rollercoasters by the banks fo the Fewa Lake. I don't think I've seen so many people at Lakeside before.
I will really miss Pokhara and all the randomness it invokes, also will miss The Real Baguette and Guru Lotus and floating on a rowboat on Fewa Lake.
