The first half of today was spent at the visa center so that we could get Emma's visa to live in the country of her birth. We should receive said visa tomorrow at 5pm. How much easier this office has been to deal with!!! Hopefully this man told us the truth...
Cultural moments:
Thamel is full of backpacker types from all over the world. There are so many eclectic and eccentric types loafing and touring here. Today, we joined them in restaurants, galleries, coffee shops, and streets that cater to tourists.
There were really odd locals who approached Matt, but some even approached me asking, "Namaste! Hello! Weed?" Trying to sell us pot. How weird to try and sell to a mom of a small baby... maybe some people would take him up on that?! It kind of reminded me of Vancouver's artist district.
Some snapshots of today's happenings:
Breakfast before going to the visa office. Our hotel has an awesome cafe above it with seashell inlaid, glass-topped tables surrounded by pillows and that inside of tented, curtained spaces. The breakfast buffet was western and nice.
Lunch: Daddy and Emma at a middle eastern vegetarian restaurant... Again at low tables and seated on cushions. This is not only comfortable but convenient for Emma to snuggle, nurse, and play while we eat. I have such a handsome husband... Just sayin'!
Fun shot of really old school rickshaws awaiting their next fare.
Fun times loafing in the streets of Thamel. We kept sun-free under an umbrella and perused galleries. It was fabulous! Emma napped about 2 hours in the Bjorn carrier... Despite honking scooters and cars passing us on the narrow streets.
A play break at a coffee shop. One should not spend most of the day in a baby carrier, gotta stretch your legs! Behind them is a coffee roaster.
