Day 1: Bhulbhule to Chyamje

10.4.08

- walked from Bhulbhule to Chyamje, starting at roughly 8am and finishing about 5:30pm.

- since I got too warm in my nylon pants, I changed into my sarong. That was a surprising change for me too, since all the locals happily noticed and smiled as I looked Nepali to them.

- we met Sunuco in Chamje. She works at the lodge we're staying - a delightful young woman. We were able to talk in Hindi and I think she had as much fun chatting with us as we had with her. She's teaching me some Nepali and I see that much of the vocabulary is similar to Hindi but the sentence structure is different - if someone speaks slowly, I can understand the gist of things.
