Early rise to get to the airport and our flight to Pokhara.
Buddha Air to Pokhara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokhara).
Waiting for our ride to the hotel.
Joe has the weight of the world on his shoulders. We had a great lunch at the Mountain Museum.
Devi's Falls. Here's a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I033fbjhAp4); but it was way more full of water today. All the rock formations were buried and the sound was deafening.
Then we walked to the World Peace Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokhara_Shanti_Stupa). In the background were whirring beetles and a drumming monk.
The views were amazing.
Sandy and me at the Stupa.
Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre).
Trekking down; a bit trecherous.
Little harbor at the bottom on Phewa Lake.
Hien and I.
Boat repairs. Wool stuffed into the cracks, then covered with tar.
Kneading the tar like dough then massaging it in. Turpentine in bottle.
On the boat to cross the lake to town; a fellow sailor.
Passing a boat and a small home-stead
Super nurse Anne and fearless leader Nancy.
Passing boat with canopy.
Passing boat with 1/2 of team - Sandy, Hien, Vickie, and Joe.
Another passing boat - women hauling wood in the boat...
... and dragging behind.
Dinner at the hotel - tired and hungry.
Vegetable dinner tarkari: papadum and rice with raita, curry, spinach, potatoes, and dal.
And then ... to bed.
