Patan Museum and beyond!

Today I went to the Patan Museum with one of my housemates Tessa. I learned so much about Hinduism and Buddhism and saw some really amazing and super old stuff, like really old, really beautiful stuff. We had a great lunch in the gardens of the museum which were beyond beautiful, and actually quiet.

We got home and cleaned a bit, since, well... it really needed to be done. We then headed down to Thamel for some shopping. Monsoon season started quite literally on our walk there. So we stopped in Himalayan Java to try to escape. We then realized it was unavoidable and pretty much swam through the streets of Thamel to do a little shopping. We took a taxi home, ate dinner, changed into dry clothes and crashed.

We have plans to head out to Swayambanath Stupa for this thing that happens everyday at 6 am and 6 pm. I can't remember the name of what it is called but it is pretty much just a giant circling of the stupa.

Thennnnn, tomorrow we, (me, Tessa, and Nick) two of my housemates, who are US citizens, have the United States Independence Day Celebration. Don't worry. An entire blog post devoteddddd to this event will be written and posted as soon as possible. In short- many a joke have already been prepared and we have been nearly counting down the days to go hang out with a bunch of Americans and celebrate the 4th of July on June 28th. Oh man. It is going to be good. Entertainment at its prime. Anyway you can look forward to that, while I sleep! Suva Ratri!
