Day 2: From Kathmandu to Itahari we go !!

What.a.day !!! So after we were on the road at 7:30 am, we hopped on a small plane to bring us to Biratnagar, then piled into a bus for about an hour and we finally arrived at our home for the next 10 days.

The plane ride was fun, we got to see good old Mount Everest ( in the mountain photo, it's the very left peak).

So once we settled at our hotel, had lunch, then it was off to Habitat for humanity headquarters for an information session about our family and what we exactly will be doing.

After the meeting we drove out to the site, the community residents had a very lovely welcoming ceremony for us. We met the family, we got blessed by the family. One of the best site visits I've been to, I wish everyone could be so happy when I show up to site visits back home lol.

During the blessing ceremony we revived little bouquets of flowers, so after I was walking around, and there were some goats, one goat started eating my bouquet. This baby goat had me in fear, I was honestly afraid of a goat that maybe weighed 15 pounds. A photo of the goat is attached.

This is a gorgeous part of the country, our build site is primarily in a rural farming community, a photo of the build site and community is attached.

Thanks for stopping by !!

  1. Loving the Nepal posts! My favorite is when you signed off "I hope there will be wifi in the hotel."
