We have made some wonderful and interesting friends on our trip. One of my sons in particular found a kindred spirit in Ashoknut, our new friend the snake charmer.
We met, as the boys and I headed to the market to buy some snacks. We passed a scuffle down an alley, Ashoknut, the Indian snake charmer was being beaten by a drunken Nepali man.
After eluding the aggressive drunk, and calming Ashoknut, we chatted about his snakes. We were all keen to see them.
We found another alley. One son was in his element, the other stuck close by my side.
The snake charmer took to the enthusiastic son and tried to teach him how to charm cobras. He had a two headed snake, a python, 2 hooded cobras and another that looked worryingly like a small brown snake.
We invited Ashoknut home with us to take tea and join our other friends. Needless to say he was a big hit. He's one son's new best friend.

Hi Lisa, Taiga is so brave to want to touch and charm the snakes. I'm with Cody, as far away as I could possible be. Good for Taiga though he seems to have an afinity with animals and spiders, bugs, snakes etc. You seem to be in a nice area now with the lake and mountains. Barney has just had a bath, he looks like a drowned cat. Love to you all, nana.
