Apartment Surroundings

The wires just caught our attention.  You can reach up and touch them much easier to repair that way.  These are the shops that we use for groceries sometimes.  They are close to our apt.  When we first saw them we thought no way.  It's not Smiths or Walmart but really?

First Days in Nepal

First few days were pretty overwhelming. The Rempps tried to take us to meet lots of people we will deal with and places we needed to go like the grocery store(Baht Batini's) and the Bank. Seemed like we were on the go 24/7 and our bodies were still trying to figure out what time it was and why we were not sleeping. Some days I couldn't hold my eyes open.
