lunch with a view

as we came out of the temple, the noon bell rang, and all the students ran around to grab their bowls, and get to the dining hall for the noon meal of rice and curry. it was fun to see the boys go from studious monks to giggly boys joking around with each other and chatting. 

we wandered farther up the hill a little to a pavilion and ate our own lunches of boiled potatoes, fried chicken, cheese sandwhich, banana and juice. we even had a treat of French fries!! ha. 

as soon as we stopped moving however, the chill of the high mountain air hit (probably high 40's), and we had to pile on all our layers to keep warm. tricky eating lunch with totally numb hands.
