Farewell Gerkhutar

I no longer have information that I wrote over in Nepal, and I'm trying to catch up much later than I should.  I will try and remember what I can, but things will be much more generalized!!



Sept 20 (Thurs)

Today we said goodbye to our new friends in Gerkhutar. We had a long drive back to Kathmandu ,although it took much less time as the traffic wasn't too bad. This morning some of us ended up drinking some local (bad for foreigners) water, and ended up feeling rather ill later on

We visited the Nepal Theological College, where we had a ceremony celebrating our time in the country.  Service was again segregated on each side, as well as celebrated barefoot!

We also spent the afternoon shopping in town, for all the little gifts/souvenirs we planned on bringing back with us.  We stayed in a very fancy hotel, and had a late dinner saying our farewells to Michael and his family (the missionaries that helped us organize the trip).

It turned out to be the most relaxed day of the entire trip, even though we probably did the most walking around! Shop till you drop :)
