So yesterday was another atypical day.  We celebrated the Teej festival which is a celebration of women and girls as being equal and valuable.  They wore their Saris which are a formal style of clothing but also beautiful and full of color.  They performed a number of dances which were very elegant.  They then surprised us and invited Maggie and the volunteers on stage to dance.  I think we made sufficient fools of ourselves but it was an enjoyable experience.

Last night we drove into town for some food.  It was pretty good but apparently you have to be careful what you order there.  I guess they made some poor choices last time.  We brought the left overs home to the kids who devoured them.  Maggie's dad got in last night as well, a very nice man who just loves it here.

Today is Saturday so there is no school and it is raining so it is a slow day.  We are sitting around playing cards and reading and playing other silly games.  I learned how to count to 10 today in Nepali.

I hope to keep learning. I have a great teacher and who is a master of trivia and is maybe only 10 years old.  He is also very quick at the hand slapping game.  He thinks its funny that my hands turn red after a while.  I'm going to go find some other games to play now.  Check back in later.
