Enjoy!
1. My scenic daily walk to the monastery
Two rest stops the first week, one rest stop the second week, no rest stop the third week and by the end of 6 weeks I skipped to the top with my thighs of thunder!
The old fashioned cement mixer is used and the mix is carried by women up to the top floor in bamboo, cone-shaped baskets carried on their backs with it strapped to their foreheads. And I complain about walking in heat, humidity and smells! Shame.
My Kathmandu home
The frontage of most businesses is 10 feet and this is my hotel.
2. The Climb to Jamicho
Our guide 'Ganesh"
Ganesh tool great care of me, called me ‘Mother’, carried my water bottle, camera and on the last part of the climb carried my backpack. Much further and he would have been carrying me!
