Shiva Rachi

So today was an interesting Nepal holiday called shiva rachi. It's a day where shiva is greatly celebrated and worshiped, parades pass through, but the goofy one is that kids stand on the side of the road and hold a rope so you can't get by without giving them money... We managed to get by today without giving anything :) we went to Dulikal again this time with our pastor, and ended up passing the worlds largest shiva. Today there were tremendous crowds gathered in its honor. Tonight people will light fires and I believe men will get together and smoke and just lots of weird crazy stuff. Just being in this temple/demonic filled place made me so on guard.

Today is our halfway point!
And today is the last day the pastors are with us.
