Our journey begins everyday.

Everyday brings a new adventure. We don't have to look for it, we only have to look.

Kathmandu

Krazy Kathmandu!!!

You want it, they've got it.  Kathmandu offers a mix of such variety that it's hard to know where to start.  We're enjoying learning about the people's history and religious history here.  On the other hand the evolving tourism industry is quite interesting also.  Going from the early days of "Freak Street" (you can imagine) to the present hustle and bustle of Thamel.  We are just starting our Nepal adventure.  

No need to wonder why the are power outages everyday.  They last about two hours.



One of many stupas we are about to visit during our stay in Kathmandu.  A stupa is a Buddhist religious structure.

Spinning the prayer wheel.


Children around the world. Young monks playing with their Toy Story figurines.

Stairway to heaven...Or to Swayambhunath.AKA the Monkey Temple.
A little closer to Nirvana with each candle.

Rickshaw ride to Freak Street.  It can be unsettling not being the biggest vehicle on the road.
