On The Road Again: This time Nepal, Bihar India, Bangalore, and Delhi. Traveling over the month to many different places. Hope you all enjoy. sorry they are mixed up again, but I hope you still enjoy.

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.

Packing the branches high and wide.






Looks like a full load.

A very "western" home in Kathmandu

Kathmandu, one of there many shopping areas.

Looking the other way.

Homes in Kathmandu, or apartments

This is a shopping area, instead of rolling metal doors, they
have real doors.

Had breakfast here on the way to the airport.
Tummy was fine!!


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.

Doing laundry.  Everyone that has a washing
machine you should be very thankful, maybe go give it
and hug and kiss. :)

Very interesting tractors in Nepal

Tractor

We found this in the gutter as we were walking to breakfast
Yes, it is what you thing it is.  If you don't know ask
someone that grew up in the "60's

Friends on a look out peak, should be able to see
the Langtang Himalayan Range.  No such luck,
but a great trip

In Nepal, this is how they carry everything.  In 
India is on top of the head.  Very interesting!
