A Tournament
Location: Nangi, Nepal
Local Time: Friday, Jan 6, 2006 - 7:13am
No, no jousting.
The girls and boys volleyball teams arrived from Histan last night to participate in the tournament today. It is about 9 hours steady walking to get to Histan from here.
As is typical in Nangi, the visitors were dispersed among the various houses and hostels. The hostels are the 1 room shacks where the kids who board stay.
There was 1 extra room in the roundhouse where I am, so a couple girls slept there for the night.
This morning, as I exited the roundhouse, I noticed some work happening on the basketball court. As I got closer I noticed they had dug new lines in the basket ball court, and two holes where they were going to put posts to hold the volleyball net.
When I say they had dug new lines, I mean, the basketball court is dirt. The lines that mark the boundaries are 1 inch trenches. So, they had dug new trenches on the court where the lines for the volleyball court would be.
There should be a teams from a couple more villages coming I am told. However, the other villages are nearby, probably only 2 - 3 hours walk away. They will walk here this morning.
