| Mostly, Nepali children are the ones who get beaten, but this baby is taking matters into her own hands... |
So, the Acclimates have been kicking it old school in Pokhara for a week (and by old school we mean Max has been quite ill and Eli is finding yoga-savvy women to "learn" from), waiting for Eli's friend to arrive from Kathmandu (who is battling age-old custom issues, but what can you expect? It's festival season) and there's not much to report. We thought we would post some photos that deserve to be shared with the masses. Enjoy.

These pictures are awesome guys! I love the swing. That looks like a ton of fun. Your poem with "bad-ass" pictures of yourself is adorable (yes, adorable) and I Googled the bike guy. AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteKeep the pictures coming!!!
The cartoons of Ama and Bua on your "good bye" page look exactly like them! And Eli, I'm glad you are learning some yoga... You guys look like you are having a lot of fun. Max, I hope you get well soon!
