oh, hello internet.
i forgot what you felt like after 4 days with no technology.
as many of you know, Kevin's parents came to visit us for 10 days.
we just put them on an airplane today back to the US of A.
It was bittersweet watching them leave, we loved having them here with us.
the last four days of our trip we spent in the villages of rural nepal.
and I mean RURAL people.
i'm saving THAT post for another day, because i'm still processing our time there.
it was like nothing i've ever experienced before.
like ever.
I have nothing to compare it to, true story.
I thought today i'd share with you some pictures from the Swayambhu temple,
also known as the monkey temple.
also known as the place katie chased monkeys.
guys, i was obsessed.
monkeys are the cutest slash weirdest animals ever.
ever.
and to be within an inch of one is quite frankly exhilarating and creepy.
they are like babies with tails and the face of an old man.
aaaannnnyyyyway,
enough about the monkeys (you'll see plenty below)
the temple was a mix of emotions for me.
It's an absolutely beautiful and architecturally stunning site.
You ascend a high and steep staircase, and when you get to the top,
you are shocked to see a whole little Buddhist monastery at the top.
Nepal is an interesting country because despite the majority of Hindu influence,
there are a lot of Buhhdists as well.
And Swayambhu is a Buhddist temple.
But again, the crushing weight of emptiness filled those beautiful buildings.
and again we prayed that the spirit of Freedom, which is the spirit of the Lord,
would fill and invade that place.
that light would shine in the dark.
That is still our prayer for this country.
enjoy the pictures:)
and no, I have no pet monkey to show for my efforts!
happy Wednesday,
love Katie
{this baby monkey was falling off the rope as I snapped pictures of him!}
