More photos than news...
Beautiful carvings everywhere; this one colored.
Photos are out of order and I am at work, so am not going to fix this. Yesterday afternoon we walked up to the monastary and the nuns showed us around. They had a beautifully trimmed and tended cactus garden.
Every day the big blue sky has been filled with threatening clouds, but only some sprinkles at night so far.
The monastary - you can see the damaged stucco on the walls. These doors would not open so the sanctuary was off limits. But they reconsidered and took us in the back door. I did not want to photograph inside; it felt somehow disrespectful. But there were may cracks and exposed bricks inside; tragic.
Cactus seen as we were leaving the monastary; filled with cobwebs. Oddly beautiful.
Dogs everywhere - and a puppy!
Family outside of Bir Hospital, this kid really wanted his photo taken, and when I showed it to him, he rang out with peals of laughter. One of those delightful moments that come so frequently here.
We walked to dinner and passed this beautiful old tree with painted box.
Back to the monastary - this is the nuns' dog! Looks very pampered.
From the monastary - view of Kathmandu from above.
Dogs in the walkway on our way back to the hospital from the monastary.
On the road to the monastary, we passed a young child playing in an old dilapidated bulldozer,

Prayer flags everywhere.
