We had some time off after teaching on Friday at Mahakali. We met Manoj's wonderful parents at their family home and stayed at Hotel Opera. Manoj is our FHI link here in Dhangadi. I apologise this blog contains 5 photo album links but on Saturday we went to the wonderful Dodhara-Chandani suspension bridge - 1.5km long - amazing in the morning mist - and linking two villages on the Indian border to mainland Nepal. Followed by a team buiding picnic on the river bed (10kms down from a politically divisive big dam so quite nerve racking, and no, I didn't have to play football!). Then back to Dhangadi - planning some work but server was down and load shedding occurred so no power. Sunny though which is nice. Time for a couple of beers and another shave (first time anyone else has shaved my head in early 14 years) then dinner and catch up with two VSO volunteers back from training in KTM. Woken at 4am by lots of throat clearing and bathroom noise from the room next door, but saw a lovely dawn. Now catching up before clinic.
Congrats again to Merv and Erdem - the pictures are great.
And thanks to everyone for continued messages. We are doing ok here and feeling settled in.
Hugs Tristan xx
