Animal Update

The cat family is gone! We went away over night last weekend, and they flew the coop! We haven't seen them around at all since. I guess the good news is that is must mean that the kitten's eyes were healed enough to go out into the wide world. We miss them, though. I find myself listening for meowing at night.

We are in the midst of the biggest Hindu festival in Nepal, called Dasain. It started over a week ago and will last another week or so. One of the days of the festival is called Maha Astami. It is a day where thousands of goats are sacrificed to the goddess. It was on Friday-Saturday, and all that weekend, and in the days leading up to it, we could hear the goats screaming... It was like Silence of the Lambs around here ... very disturbing!
