The weather has been very sunny! We thought that after the monsoon season ended it would get cooler, but it's only slightly less humid and a lot sunnier. Nowadays we see more blue skies and haven't needed our umbrellas at all.
Every day I pass a lot of stray dogs, chickens and ducks on my way to class. There are a few cats here and there on the streets, but almost no one keeps them as pets. I saw a few people walking their cows down the street, and I often see cows sleeping on the median of the highway. You can also see goats, and there was a mother and two newborns sitting on the side of a temple in Bhaktapur City. Typically when we're wandering around temples there are lots of monkeys, too, but this week we haven't seen any yet. Inside my house, I always see a bunch of small lizards and spiders of various sizes, but typically I don't allow the larger spiders in my bedroom to stay.
