quarter break.

halfway done the semester already! crazy how it's flown by again... it's been a good quarter, christina is over 7 months along now, with the end of her teaching in sight. we spent some time this break getting the baby/art room ready, visiting the local hospital for a check-up, playing squash and climbing in the new gym, and then decided to head into the hills one last time before the little one arrives.



we passed through some amazing terraced farms. the villagers were all busy out working, but would usually stop long enough for a smile for the camera.





no big case combines here! nothing but your hands and feet to get the job done...





we hiked into a protected forest area, it's amazing to see the contrast of barren-lumbered hills to thick pine forest... amazing at how a few laws can change the hillside, that is if there are people and infrastructure to enforce them...





a creepy old hindu temple in the woods...

everybody on! i guess it beats walking 10km to town
