First week in Nepal!

I am overwhelmed with everything I have experienced already! It feels as if it's been months, but I've barely been here a week! I have no phone service, and the internet is very unreliable. Put that together with the government regulating power for only certain days of the week, and I am already feeling pretty lonely and isolated from the outside world. But, I am surrounded by sweet, caring people, and I am in a very safe home (AmaGhar orphanage). So, if you don't hear from me for a few weeks, don't worry, it's just the lack of modern conveniences, like power, a phone, and the internet! I could go on and on about the surprises of living in a developing country, both pleasant and not so pleasant :) I have tons of pictures to download, but I'm not sure if the internet service will last long enough! I want to split up blog entries with pictures and different events, so I'll give more details when I can! Miss you all!!!!!
