Adventure in Southern Nepal

We jumped on a bus early Monday morning, with a niece of the couple we are staying with as our guide, and headed down to an area known as Chitwan. It's a popular tourist destination in Southern Nepal with safari type activities and warmth :-). Our hosts arranged a mini vacation for us it seemed.....surprise! So we're down here now and enjoying some time with the locals....the people and the animals. Today we got to play in the river with some elephants! I'll post some pics of that once we get back to Kathmandu. Their pretty funny...especially the ones of the elephant knocking us off it's back into the river. We are loving our time here, especially all the time we are getting to read the Good Book. And the family that is hosting us is wonderful!
Tomorrow we are going to a children's home and then on Saturday we are going to a "gathering" and to hang out with one of their leader's family afterwards. We'll try and post some pics and more about our time in the plains of Nepal when we get back into Kathmandu on Sunday. Keep us in your thoughts (especially for the bus ride back....it's a little crazy on those mountain roads :-)) and thanks for all your support!
