First of the year
About three weeks ago I left Birganj and headed into the Kathmandu Valley. First, I went in for my education group's IST. The week after was the yearly Peace Corps Nepal's All-Vol, something that is talked about from the moment of arrival in country. I'd been in the Terai, i.e., Birganj, for a couple of months and I was ready to get out of the flatlands and into the valley.

Way back in July
Way back in July it was hot—really hot. The hot that you can't escape, that makes you uncomfortable in your skin. Since it was July it was also the thick of the monsoon. Since it was July, I still wasn't half sure why or what I was doing in Nepal—or if I'd even be here a week later.
