Finally here!

After almost two whole days of traveling, I've finally reached Ranipauwa where I'm staying with a very welcome family. Everybody's so nice here, or at least I think they are, as I don't speak Nepali.
After many investigations, I found a fossil of an ancient water creature on one of the highest places on earth! This proves my theory that the Himalayas were formed from a convergent boundary between two plates. The Eurasian plate, and the Indian plate are moving together. They collide in the form of a collision convergent boundary, and when they meet they push upwards forming huge mountains. The evidence of the sea creature fossil shows that millions of years ago the Himalayas were under water.
Above: (bottom) how a Convergent Collision boundary works. (top) Here is a picture of the small village!
