FINALLY, I have another camera and can write about 
Bhaktapur where I went yesterday for3hours in
the rain. Here is my new best friend who sold me some necklaces of yak bone - hope you're ready for the new me! Im thinking nose ring...
Bhaktapur is the place with the peacock window, a town that allows no traffic and was a major spot along the Tibetan trade route in the 15th century. About 65,000 people live in this magical city of carved wooden window and doorframes, nooks and crannies and mysterious alleys leading in all directions - not to mention temples, stupas AND the full glasses of mango juice for 50 rupees. Ahhhhhhhhh.
It took 45minutes to get there but in the rain and traffic over and hour to get back to Thamel in Kathmandu/ I stupidly did NOT wear Kris's raincoat, but today I went to the Swayambhuhath Stupa (Monkey Temple) and did; the sun came out, of course! I took a photo of a monkey with red testicles, but that is all for tomorrow; I still have adventures to come today.
You look happy and restful, if not rested. What amazing carved doors and peacocks. I'm in awe of your zestful, focussed energy. You go.xxx
