Living the fancy life in Pokhara

We have spent the past few days camping out at the Shangri-La Village Resort in Pokhara. It’s been a real treat for everyone. Today we are staying an extra day because of a national bundha (strike). There are many worst places to be. The only downside to it is that we will miss out on a day with the other children at Papa’s House and maybe sessions with various attorneys.

The kids have finally unwound from their exams and it is great for us to be able to breathe again. Pollution is a lot less here.

The girls have been busy experiencing many firsts. First time on a row boat, first time fishing, first Korean meal (which I think has been our best meal out in Nepal), first jigsaw puzzle, first hammock, first real bed, first hot showers, first time with electricity 24/7, first facial, first salad, first time feeding fishes, and the list goes on.

While I have lots of great pics, the Internet is not holding up well so I will only post pics after we get home to California.

Tom and I have also been experiencing a large range of new experiences as parents to two daughters; dealing with tantrums, a sick child and lack of sleep, resistance to new foods/activities and enforcing discipline while having a good time.

Lots of love from Pokhara,
