This morning I woke up to a beautiful view. It was this.

Yep. You guessed it. I’m in Nepal. Nepal has been on my travel list for years and years and I am over the moon excited to finally be here. I have barely been able to sleep I’m so excited. I’m going up in a helicopter today and going to look at an aerial view of some of the lower peaks and I am ecstatic to be able to see those. I was thinking about how the Himalayas were formed and it’s crazy to think they started forming millions of years ago and they are still growing today. The Indo-Australia Plate and the Eurasian Plate are constantly coming towards each other. The Himalayas were formed by a subcontinental plate that was carrying India and then abut 50 million years ago they collided. They continue to push the Himalayas up at five centimeters a year. This, by the way, is called convergent collision.
I am so excited to go sight seeing after I go on the tour because gee whiz, I really want to explore Nepal. I’m only here for a few days so I want to make the most of it. My number one place to go to is Durbar Square. I saw a picture of it when I was seven and since then it was my dream to go there. I begged my parents for years and years, but we could never afford to go to Nepal, so I made it one of my goals in life to visit there, and here I am, 23 years later about to live my dream. I did so much research on Durbar Square and I have learned so much about it, so if you want to look into it, here is the link to a website that I have been exploring for a few months. I think it has a lot of great information on it so definitely check it out! http://dbrevisited.weebly.com/
