Post riot partying



So after all the pressure of the week, we had to let loose this weekend! Off we went bowling at the local bowling alley - where you can also enjoy a G&T for $2.00! I'm sure that helped me with my game. It is pretty fun and lots of foreigners seem to gather here for a laugh. I much improved my game, as this time I didn't launch my entire body down the bowling alley. My bruises of a month ago from that trauma have just now disappeared!

Yesterday we rented mountain bikes and went up into the hills for some riding. It was great, and the traffic getting out of the city was pretty light due to the fuel shortage - which means just a little less pollution. We rode up the paved road along the hills way up into the valley. When we got to the top, of course, you have tea. Then we rode down the backside of the mountain on some pretty rocky single track. As we navigated our way through remote villages, the kids seem to pile out of their houses shouting "hello, hello!". They seem entirely confused when we can shout back "Tapaailai casto chha?" Or "How are you doing?" In Nepali. How hilarious to see their reaction.
