Sometimes the best moments happen when you are least expecting them if you just stay open.  At the end of a lovely but long day, as it neared dark I stopped into Himilayan coffeehouse for a cup of coffee before heading home. I found a quiet corner and placed my order. As I waited a lovely Asian woman came and sat across from me and as I curled my legs under me to get comfortable she smiled and did the same-the beginnings of a friendship. Soon her friend came and joined us and began to chat and translate. They are from China, here in Nepal working with a school. We were also joined by their friend and guide who is a Buddist monk. We found many things to talk about and mutual connections, decided to go to dinner together and  share a very unexpected lovely evening! Meet my new friends Guo ping, Lekshay, & Caroline. Thank you for such a fun and interesting night! p.s,. I shared my first and hopefully only car accident with these guys coming home tonight, very minor and no one hurt!
