KATMANDU

monastery- amazing. we took a long drive in a taxi seven of us in 4 seats up a mountain. the two children told the taxi driver where to go. half way up the taxi started smoking because the driver was starting out in like forth gear and burning the clutch. we ended up climbing the rest of the way. little houses on the sid eof the road. a man walking a cow... which i am not sure why they have cows they dont use there milk or meat so they are like pets i guess. the garden was so pretty green grass bright colored flowers and statues of gods. it was the most peacful place i have ever been and the monks were so nice.

tamel- a shopping area we went to. its for american tourists kind of like mexico you have to argue for good prices bought a skirt and wonderful girts for many people!! o and these things called momos which are like dumpling with buffalo meat!!! which is really good.

buddist temple- its this huge white temple with gold top where each of the four sides have buddas eyes on it. and bright prayer rugs all over. you have to walk around clockwise and everyone has prayer beads and are praying my favorite place so far. I am sure every day i will say that

tomorrow morning i am waking up and taking a plane to go see everest hopefully i will get my luggage soon and be able to post pictures!!!

miss and love you all
