The Wildlife


We have been in the mountains for over a week and our time here has been interesting J There are a few things we have adjusted to that are different that we had orginally anticipated . We had thoroughly expected to be confronted with power outages and bargaining in the markets for groceries as a way of life. However, we did not expect that we would be in the same town as big chain restaurants like Dominos or Baskin Robbins. Which I am happy to say are near and available to us J 
Also, most places have pests like Squirrels or Raccoons, however we have Monkeys! They are everywhere! They tend to wake us up early in the morning from jumping on our roof top  and like to follow us on the road when we are carrying groceries.

Some monkeys in the street eating garbage (or maybe they actually succeeded in snagging someone’s grocery bag ;)

We also have encountered some very different kinds of Bugs. Like Big Beetles!
 We found this "little" guy on our neighbors porch! The picture doesn't fully do it justice because it was a least 5 inches long! 

We had also heard that Cows are a common sight on busy streets. Roaming with no owners. However, we did not see our first and, only Roaming Cow so far, until this last week!

Roaming cow ;) Hudson was soo excited!


However one thing seems to never change with us and that is the beautiful mountain scenery and nice cool weather. It seems that this is the environment we find ourselves in more often than not ;)


The view from our kitchen window: the Beautiful Himalaya Mountains.
