This morning, Ben and I got coffee and momos, and he bought some pants on the street.

We woke up this morning and took a bus for about 1.5 hours to a village/school in Tanahun.
It was smooth for a while, but the last little bit was pretty bumpy.

Last night I read quite a bit about people who've hitchhiked alone across United States. I think I may do it after this trip (or I may stay and teach.  Not exactly sure).

I told my dad about both options over FaceTime.  He says they both sounds like good options and I'm glad that he supports both of them.

I also FaceTimed and my friends Andrew and Irlanda; I told them about my trip so far, showed them the teahouse we are staying at, and the Himalayas.

This morning after eating breakfast (porridge for Ben and eggs for myself) and saying goodbye to our new Israeli friends, we set out for another beautiful day of trekking!

About 4 miles before Chame, we saw a Jeep of 5 Nepali guys in the back of and 4 passengers (comfortably?) in the car.  They said they were going to Besishahar, and asked if we wanted a ride; said the guys in the back and one passenger in the Jeep were getting out at Chame.  We decided to get a ride with them for Rs.2000 ($19.30).

There was an excavator in the middle of the path that was moving big rocks boulders out of the way, so we had to wait a little over an hour for it to finish.  It was pretty cool watching it move them out of the way, they were huge!  Ben was poking fun at the driver of the excavator, saying he was doing it incorrectly and that he could do a better job (he works construction at home).
