Time to leave Nepal

After 3 fantastic months or time has come for us to leave. It is with mixed emotions.
Nepal is full of amazing mountains and villages to explore.
Tara and Luke are developing and growing so much interacting with the other locals and travelers.
The building of the school is picking up but will take months more to complete.
Story's and images of Christmas back home in New Zealand are filtering through making me long for some time at home. I awoke from a dream this morning packing the van to go to Taupo with kayak, water ski, and kite surfer in wanting to get there in time for the sun rise across the lake with a coffee in hand.
Nepal has been what I looked for in traveling with the family, some where with a community for the family to feel part of, real adventure for trekking the unknown (for us), the outdoors are amazing, the opportunity's to help and contribute to a community endless.
So I farewell the friends we have made and step towards our next phase. A wedding in Goa, India. With Clarissa's whole family. The talk of chocolate, wine, toast with butter and fresh coffee along with all the other 1st world norms are on the menu of course.
These things feel so luxurious for now.

Back to Gaunshaha again

We got back and it was busy times with harvesting the final rice and stacking hay.
Even the door jams for the school were developing.
I got to have a go with an Ad's .
