The whole landscape showed design. How wonderful the power of its beauty! Gazing awestricken, I might have left everything for it. Glad, endless work would be mine tracing the forces that have brought forth its features. -John Muir

Celebrating Holy Days
A few friends from our organization, who we refer to as the Dutchies, came up to visit our village on Monday.
Wednesday night we celebrated Shivaratri in the village. They do bonfire right here. Some music, some dancing, and a whole lot of sugar cane.
Thursday was the Buddhist New Year, so we went down to the Monastery in town and watched the dances being performed. It was so hot, and they danced in these heavy costumes for so long. One of the coolest things I've seen here so far.
