Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.


We arrived home from Nargarkot to find the house empty. Everyone was already out seeing the sights, as Saturday is the one and only day off school and work. We took advantage of the sunshine and did some laundry.

Hailey and I went to a local restaurant for lunch. Momo’s are not what I thought they were and I won’t be ordering them again – Yuck! Hailey’s pasta had bacon all through it so it was a pretty unsuccessful meal. Our first so far I think.

Our evening was spent in Thamel, we booked our flight to Pokhara, the hotel and some entertainment. I’ll let you know about it when the time comes if I don’t chicken out.  

We have only been gone for two days and one night but it was like a grand reunion when we came home from Thamel. It was fun to hear about everyone’s adventures and to share our own.  One of my meditations was about family. It defines family as two or more people that reside together whether they are related or not. For this month these people are our family. We eat together, we work together, and we share our experiences together. It is a unique experience and it will be quite a change when we start going our separate ways.
