Dinner with the monks

(Or "monkeys" as they have been fondly termed.)

The girls were more in awe of them when they wore their red robes and travelled in a group of ten, but they still look in wonderment to these two men who barely speak their language but will sit down to a "picnic", and swing and hug them at a moment's notice.

Tsultrim and Lungtok also cooked dinner for us as the tradition (since Aunt Kristel's departure to China) has become mo mo's - which involves group effort in the actual creation of as it takes about 2 hours.


Tsultrim and Lungtok have mo mo's down to an art form. Jeff is catching up quickly, and mine well... maybe you can pick them out! :)

We also had a great time watching them fight over their first chance to use a power tool. Unfortunately their first introduction was a chainsaw as they helped Jeff and my Dad cut down a 30 foot tree in the yard. Luckily everyone still had all their appendages at the end of the afternoon.
