Ben and I had different flights from New Delhi to Kathmandu.  We didn't know that until right before we left, oops.  It was a bit of a bummer that we were flying separate, to be honest.  And he didn't send me any of our Airbnb information before I left, so I had to wait at the airport for 5 hours for him to come.

20 minutes after his flight was supposed to land, the bags started to come out on the conveyor belt, so I found his big red bag and held onto it while I waited for him to come down the escalator.  He didn't come down for about 20 or so minutes after that; I started getting worried.

Ben tried to get the top part of his ear pierced (helix piercing) this morning.  It looks a little bit odd (red + swollen) because the hoop was too large to close?  Hahaha

I watched Ben skate for a bit then we hiked up to a big statue of Buddha, which was very cool. A guy there told us to light some incense (he gave us each a stick) and to say a prayer to Buddha.  Neither of us are very religious but I thought it was a nice spiritual moment.?

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.
