Nepal Trekking - Kathmandu

It took me a while to get back to blogging, but here are the final Nepal photos... after our time in the mountains we came back to Kathmandu, where we spent 4 days (2 days too long:)











Tow Truck!

Kathmandu is a busy and chaotic city... as we flew into the city we could see the air go from clean to smoggy. The city is in a valley so the bad air just collects right over.



Recess!!!



The city may be a little dirty, but it is colorful!!!

Laundry Day!

Throughout the city there are many squares with Buddha Stupas or other Hindu/Buddist alters like the one above.

We visited Durbar Square, location of one of the old Royal Palaces and home of the 'living goddess' - (no, not me!!!:)

Lunch stop at a rooftop restaurant

We also visited the Buddist Monastary located on a hilltop in Kathmandu, Swayambhunath.



There are monkeys living in the park and spend most of their time hassling the visitors. I had to stop and laugh at one of them because he stole a tourist's plastic bag, dug into and started eating the Choco Pie which the man must have been saving for later!!!
