TREKKING ADVENTURE!! Day 6 in Nepal was spent trekking through the foothills of the Himalayas. We went on the Ghandruk Circuit in the Annapurna Trekking Area which we were told was an easy-moderate trek. We quickly discovered that the Nepali definition of "easy-moderate" is far different than our version. This ENTIRE trek was uphill. No joke. Every. Single. Step. Was. UP. But it was totally worth it.

Happy 90th Birthday, Gramps!
Today, my wonderful grandfather, Dr. Russel Elwood Schatz, turns 90 years old! That's pretty gosh darn remarkable. So allow me to remark. My grandpa is kind, sincere, witty and good-hearted. Even in his old age, his humorous and loving nature still shine through. I constantly strive to be like him and I'm honored to be his grandson.
Yesterday we threw him a big ol' party where a bunch of friends and relatives (some of whom hadn't seen my grandparents in years) gathered to celebrate. I threw together a little photo slide show/video and thought it might be nice to share that video here. But not only are you getting the video in it's entirety, you also get each section of the video divided up into shorter videos for an easier viewer experience. So please enjoy this presentation of my Grandpa Schatz.

Kev In Nepal: Day 5
Once again, this day has been split into TWO videos since the first and second halves of the day were so different from one another. So have a blast with part one here! We visited a trout farm and it was AWESOME!!
The second half of the day took us to a community center where we were hosted by a group of aspiring business women. Man, were they great hosts! Look how much fun we had:

Kev In Nepal: Day 4
Oh watch out now!! Two videos today?! That's right!!
I felt this day needed to be split into two parts mainly because the first part of the day had such an impact on our entire trip that I didn't want it to get lost in the middle of a whole day's video. We visited Bahrahi Primary School for most of this day and were just blown away with the warmth and love of these people. I know this video won't do justice for how much this school visit meant to us but I hope you can feel some of the love we felt just by watching it.
And the second video will really speak for itself. If you like bridges, you gonna love this!

Kev In Nepal: Day 3
Day 3 in Nepal was primarily a day of travel. Kathmandu --> Pokhara. Primarily by bus, but you know, there was some walking involved in there too. Like from the bus to the bathroom.
Day 3 taught me that no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to escape the reach of Justin Bieber. That dude is everywhere. Watch to find out why.

Kev In Nepal: Day 2
Day two!! We're movin' right along.
For the record, these videos are not a 100% accurate portrayal of our days in Nepal. They're pretty darn close. But there are obviously 24 hours in each day and I'm trying to sum each of those up in 3-5 minutes. So there is quite a bit that gets left out. That said, I'm trying my best to hit the major points of each day. Some things were harder to document than others and therefore may have been left out. So my suggestion is to ask me about my trip sometime. I'll fill in the gaps for you. Enjoy day two!
