The top of Swayambhunath Temple.
Walking up to the temple. Many stairs, and many monkeys, had already passed.
These two monkeys were hanging out while I took the picture of Andy below, but when I went to have a picture taken of me, the one monkey jumped on to the top of the statue's head (while the other just chilled with his water bottle), a short distance from mine. When I had first arrived at the temple I had a juice box in my hand, and the first monkey I saw walked right up to me, and I tried to play it cool, until he started pawing at it, and when I pulled my hand away he started jumping after it. Someone told me not to tease them, although that hadn't been my intention at all. However, I decided to take all necessary precautions from that point forward, so when the monkey in this picture made a move towards me, I got the hell out of there.
Gathering outside in Adamara.
The boys at the swimming hole that Surya, our host brother, showed us.
This is the street we walk down to the school. From where I'm standing it's about a minute or two to the highway, and about four or five to school.
These bananas are my first step towards my very own 'tiny town'. There are regular sized bananas in Nepal, but mostly you find these little guys. Rajesh took this picture. For whatever reason, he likes to hold the camera at weird angles. I don't understand the kid.
The well our water comes from.
Our school's girls volleyball team.
Saroj and Rajesh at 'the tap', where we shower and wash clothes. It's about a three minute walk from the house.
Saroj washing a kid in Adamara at our Personal Hygiene presentation. I remember thinking, "I don't know if this would fly at home", and as he proceeded, thinking, "Okay, that
definitely would not fly at home"
Classroom in Adamara.
Adamara.
Setting up for a Nutrition presentation in Sundrapur. On the far right is Surya, and the guy in the green shirt is Yogendra, one of our Green Club students.
