I’m so exhausted from a day well spent I can’t wait to go to sleep. I have every intention of sleeping in tomorrow – maybe even excessively. I deserve that.

My day started very early. I awoke just past 6 am so that I could write morning pages and then attend a yoga class with the girls. I enjoyed the yoga class, but probably won’t try to make it that early again. I’m just not made to get up that early and it screws with my day.

After the yoga class a bunch of us got breakfast. V brought the guy she brought home the night before. He was gorgeous. Like a really, really good looking Nepali guy. We ate breakfast and then took a short break before meeting and going on a hike. We hiked up to this stupa on a hill across the lake. The hike took us a couple hours, but it was really fun. There was this very attractive, (quite buff) young Scottish guy. He was so cute. I took a picture of him smiling later in the day and realized he has a smile I could definitely fall in love with. Anyway, we hiked up to the stupa and took some pictures. It took quite a while. I enjoyed the hike very much and the group of people we’ve been hanging out with are all very cool. I’m going to miss them when the group totally changes, which it will – soon. We walked down from the stupa and took a boat ride back to the Lakeside area of town. They jammed 5 of us in one boat which I’m pretty sure wasn’t very safe. They then sent a kid who had to be like 10 years old to paddle us across the lake. It was a bit tragic. A little way he ran into a guy returning from the other side and the guy got in our boat and the kid took the other one back across the lake. We made it across alright and decided to split up for some showers before meeting back up for dinner.

Dinner was really fun. Paula is leaving tomorrow for KTM which is really sad. I’m going to miss her a lot, but in all likelihood it probably won’t be too long before I see here again – either in Nepal or India. I’m definitely going to hit her up when/if I fly to Delhi. I was so exhausted from dinner I ended up just sitting there for a long time totally off in my own little world. It was certainly tasty though.

After dinner I decided to go meet this Brazilian/Indian guy who’s living here. I’ve been messaging him on one of the apps for a few days. He’s a nice guy. I also wanted to check out his apartment in case I decide to stay here a while. His apartment was ok. I could maybe live there, but I do like the guesthouse where I’m currently staying so we’ll see. This guy was pretty adamant before we met that we’d only hug and maybe kiss for a little while. Of course he was also born in 1993 so I kind of new better. We made out on the roof and then started to fool around more. Since he’s currently hosting a couch surfer in his apartment we were doing all this on the roof and we ended up going in the bathroom. It was nice to finally fool around with someone again – I feel like it’s been forever, but that wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. I really did think taking it slow would be a nice idea. I’m horny and want to get off, but at the same time that always seems to lead me to the same place when I go there right away with guys. I still enjoyed it and plan to see him again. I suppose we’ll see where that leads me.

This afternoon I decided that I really like Pokhara and that maybe I’d just figure out a visa and stay here a while. I decided not to invest too heavily in the idea right away because my attitude and what I want changes so frequently. On the one hand, it would be cool to hang out for a while. I even met someone else who’s planning to stay for 3-5 months so I’d have a more long-term friend here as well. This evening I’ve kind of cooled on that idea. Pokhara feels like paradise after KTM, but the reality of staying here might not be that great. I’m going to think about it some more and see what I decide. Thankfully after doing the Indian visa back in KTM next week I can come back here and chill. Maybe if I stay here a month that’ll be enough and then I’ll be ready to move on. Maybe I’ll want to stay longer. We’ll see. It’ll fall into place if I give it some time.
