 On our second day in Kathmandu, we went to Thamel.  It's an area of town that has a lot of shops and fun food places!  We all bought new jackets and we ate at a really fun Brick Oven Pizza Place (Roadhouse Cafe).  The market was really fun :) While the girls were napping, I walked around the Stupa during the day to take some pictures.  Tibetan Buddhism is something I haven't really ever seen much of, so it was new and very interesting to see. Here's a picture of the Stupa from the night before.  It has eyes that go around the whole thing.  It felt like it was staring at you the whole time.  Aashini said it looked like an Angry Bird.  This lady looked so cool to me.    A lady saying prayers at the Stupa.  A monk feeding the pigeons :)  I took tons of pictures! I'll post more on Facebook in the next few days!   We loved our trip to Kathmandu.  It's a really cool city!

I'm sorry for the lack of blogging!  I have been diagnosed with Meniere's Disease and have been dealing with lots of nasty vertigo! ugh!  So, we went to Kathmandu, Nepal for a vist this past week!   When we flew in, I sat on the left side of the plane and as we descended, I got to sit by the window and snap some pics!  The picture below is of the Himalayas!   If you look at the highest point in this picture you'll see.... MOUNT EVEREST!!!  Cool hunh?   Another view from the plane :)  Here's a view of Kathmandu from the plane :)  The guesthouse we were staying in was near the Tibetan area of town.  We LOVED it!  There was a Stupa  in walking distance from where we stayed and there were places to eat and shop all around it.  It was VERY interesting.  The first night we were there was the last day of a holiday, so everyone was out and about :)  This lady has a cute smile :) ...
