Day 12: Pokhara Workday

This morning, we got right back to work after breakfast and tea to get us started. I worked on cutting, grinding, and shaping the spacers for our rear wheel mount now that we had all the other pieces ready to assemble. Travis got back to work welding the wheelchair while Cai, Blake, and Thomas worked together to get the prone trolley chest piece assembled. Van Dyke did a little shopping but came back and continued painting for most of the day. And once again, Giraldo worked on drilling more parts. It poured enough in the afternoon that the clouds cleared away and we could see bits of the mountains again. Then as we were sitting waiting for dinner, we saw a crowd of motorcycles coming down the street. Van Dyke thought it was a political protest because he sees those often when he goes into Pokhara to shop. But as they got closer, we realized it was a celebration for a soccer team's victory! After they passed, five or so cows came up through the street, apparently disturbed by the celebration. We did a bit of walking around the streets but called it a night around 8pm this time around.
