Kathmandu, Nepal, walked out of our guest house to go
and have breakfast. We saw with shock this elephant
she is from the zoo and they were out getting "food" for her
and I would think other critters.
She is 70 years old.

Back in Kathmandu, laundry on the line
Ladies washing the clothes, to the left was the men's
bathing area. Very interesting, other places women
taking baths in the open yet discreetly.
These ladies must do the laundry may make money by
washing uniforms, ???? or their families uniforms.
My mother would be proud of the "harmony" on the
cloths line.

machine you should be very thankful, maybe go give it
and hug and kiss. :)
