We are back in Kathmandu and Patrick has officially moved into his new apartment. We finished painting yesterday and the colors look great. He also had new carpeting put in and we did some general cleaning. It is definitely looking like a home. The views from every window and balcony are amazing ! There are green mountains , Buddhist temples, prayer flags and beautiful blue skies. The monkeys and their antics are fun to watch. Some have already pooped on his balcony. I love watching the mother monkeys leaping from tree, to building, to rooftop, carrying two babies, one on her back and one in front. I would never tire of watching them. I will definitely have to video tape them before I go. They are like our squirrels.

We are trying to organize another picnic with the kids that the Dudes Makin' a Difference, from OPRFHS, sponsor. Among the kids is the one that our class sponsored, and will continue to do so, Prakash. If all goes well we will be doing this on Saturday. We did this last year and had a wonderful time together. It will be nice to catch up and see how they have grown, and what changes they have made. We will be meeting with their contact person tonight to put it all together. Fingers crossed!
