Snapshot of Nepal

While I'm in the process of fixing my blog/finally updating it, here are a few pictures that give a good snapshot of my time in Nepal. It's a beautiful, underdeveloped, and poor country, but the people are among the nicest, most caring, and family-focused people I've ever met. My host family really made me feel like part of the family, and it was incredibly hard to leave.

So here is a snapshot (or several) of Nepal: natural beauty, cute kids, and goats


Taken on a walk, 30 minutes from my home

Goat (picture taken by my six year old Nepali brother)


Probably the cutest baby ever

Lil' brother getting ready for school. We called him angry boy or silly boy depending on his mood
