Namaste
Posted on December 16, 2009 | No CommentsIt has been difficult to express to people how beautiful I think the country of Nepal is. The land and the beautiful people are indescribable to me. I’ve attempted to share with my words just how wonderful I think this magical place is, and though... -
A Review| Phokara, Nepal
Posted on November 15, 2009 | No CommentsPhokara is the Beach city of Nepal. Except the “beach” is actually the banks of the very small Phewa Lake.

A Review| Bhaktapur, Nepal
Posted on November 15, 2009 | 1 CommentBy far, my favorite place to travel in Nepal is the small fifedom of Bhaktapur.

Happy Dog Day!
Posted on October 20, 2009 | No CommentsThere are many street dogs running through the cobblestone alleyways of Bhaktapur. They sunbathe on the steps of grand pagodas, rummage through trash piles, and expertly maneuver through traffic. Humans don’t pay them much attention, and it seems the same is true in reverse.

Mornings in Nepal
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No CommentsWhen Patty and I wake up in the morning, we quickly eat breakfast and walk through the ancient city of Bhaktapur.
