Jungle Walk

Yesterday at the ashram we went with the class on a walk into the jungle. We went up the river, so we wouldn't get lost.

On the way we played frisbee and soccer. We ate wild fruit. One was called 'Nepalese Hog Plum'. It is very sour.

Then we kept walking into the jungle. There were so many leeches! I got about 80 leeches on me. I screamed like a girl! And I hardly ever scream like a girl. It was horrible!

We stopped at the 'Timoor' tree and rubbed its leaves on us to stop the leeches. We walked back and no leeches bit us, it was so amazing!

On our way back we all climbed a gigantic rock. Then we walked down further and played a game called 'Dog and Bone'.

We finally got back to clean ourselves and rest, but we had a water fight. It was fun.

I really love being here at the ashram. I really like their potatoes, but Nonna, you should tell them your chips recipe.
