French Cheese Farm

Last year some of our MCC friends, Heidi and Amos, told us about this french guy who makes and sells cheese on the outskirts of Kathmandu.  He also has animals.  I knew when I heard this that it would make a great kids field trip some day but hadn't had the opportunity until this week to do it.  Anusha and I had the pleasure of going with some of our Kathmandu friends to the Himalayan Cheese Farm . . . a 20 minute car ride and 10 minute hike . . . into a beautiful wooded, spacious farm.  We hope we didn't scare Francios off with all the kids holding his 4-day old sheep!  It was a lovely day and Anusha cried for about 5 minutes on the way down because she didn't want to leave!
