Stupa and Swimming
Location: Pokhara, Nepal
Local Time: Wednesday, Nov 2, 2005 - 10:44pm
Busy day today. Seth and I met Shelby for breakfast at 10am. And there is a new member of our group today, Ikuko. She lived in New York city for 9 years, she's volunteering in Kathmandu right now and on vacation for a few days here in Pokhara.
After breakfast, we rented a boat for the day and rowed over to the Hindu temple on the island in the lake, Phewa Lake I believe is the name. After that, we crossed to the other side of the lake and hiked up the hillside to the stupa. It is a very impressive view.
Afterwards, we paddled out to the middle of the lake and jumped in to swim around for a while. The water was nice and warm. Lovely.
Afterwards, we went back into town. We had momos (a Tibetan food) at the Special Momo place. Fried momos stuffed with vegetables, fried momos stuffed with apple and steamed momos stuffed with vegetables, accompanied with a big pot of milk tea. Good stuff.
Next, we walked around a little before going to Once Upon a Time Restaurant to eat dinner while watching a movie. We chose the restaurant based on the movie that was playing. Crash was the movie. Kind of thought provoking, all about prejudice in LA.
Next, we headed off to another restaurant to have Mars and Snicker roll, fried. Think of a spring roll, stuffed with a Mars (or Snicker) bar, and deep fried.
The Snickers roll was much better than the Mars roll.
