Hello from Kathmandu

Hey everybody! Right now I'm in the capital city of Nepal, starving because it's been 10 hours since my last real meal, (they only eat 2 per day around here) and in pretty good spirits. Let me tell you, we don't eat too often around here, but when we do the food more than makes up for the wait! It's some great stuff.

There is nothing quite like the traffic in a third world country. People around here drive like madmen, but somehow it all works out and is apparently quite safe. The roads are a mess of taxis, which are remarkably to the Festiva which was proudly driven by three of the look machiners, tractors, busses, motorcycles with a few dozen people on each one, hindu cows that are calmer than I ever immagined, dump trucks, pedystrians, bicyclers, and three wheeled vans, all of which are simultaneously honking their horns. It's great stuff! There isn't much that resembles lanes or anything, it's a free for all, but somehow they know what's going on.

We're staying in and working in a really great orphanage. The kids are awesome, and the staff does a really great job. Today we went with the kids and taught about creation, the food web, and interdependence in the public schools. It was pretty cool. After that we wandered around the streets of kathmandu, between the meat vendors and the hindu temples. I gotta go eat now, but I'll try to put another update up here sometime. Bye!

Ps. Collin, please email this to Mom and Grandad. Thanks.
