Tihar

We are currently in the festival of Tihar. It seems everyday I'm introduced to a new Nepali holiday or tradition. Yesterday was dogs day, where everyone is to be nice to dogs. Seeing as street dogs are in abundance here, it seemed a little strange. Going with tradition we gave Scooby a beautiful flower necklace, which was the nicest o all the dogs i had seen, not that it matters.... Anyway I also tried give him some beer but he preferred meat products. Go figure.

The festival continues 3 more days, I'm excited to see what else I will learn. Back to the purpose of this blog...we attached Bob's tail mount yesterday for his telemetry. This means...wait for it...flying him off creance! We drove down to Pame where he did 2 long free flights. He was absolutely beautiful to see in flight.

His progress is making me excited for the season. Kevin is still fighting his diet, but he's slowly dropping the weight and he should be flying soon too.

The kites are coming along. Sapana and I are working on a friendship,which is seemingly one sided at the moment, but she will come around with time and trust.

Anita made a very yummy pasta dish last night, but the rain prevented us from eating outside.

Jess, Ivan, and I took the motorbike home but the headlight was out. We used my flashlight, again probably the best gift I could have received.

Oh, and there was a gecko in my shower last night :)
