Getting my act together to post photos

Okay, I'm trying to download my photos again. The computer I'm using today (right next to the one I was using yesterday, which is now occupied by a Nepali boy playing a video game), is having trouble multi-tasking. I'm copying 100 photos at at time and am hoping the computer doesn't crash. Something sounding like Nepali Ricky Martin is playing on the radio. Oh, and another funny thing about this Internet cafe, which is a hole in the wall that doesn't serve coffee or beverages of any kind: all the keyboards have the letters handwritten on little pieces of paper and taped on. So, the keys don't stick but my fingers stick to the keyboard.

Okay, here are some pics from the first few days of the trip.
Day 1 and 2: 101 World Heritage sites in 8 hours. These were from our sightseeing day around KMD with Shree. You will find more on Brian and Anelle's site.

We visited the gigantic Bodhnath stupa. Surrounding the stupa are hundreds of small shops and several monasteries. We were allowed to go inside one of the monasteries between prayer ceremonies and take photos. At first, I thought the juxtaposition of the traditional and modern was interesting. But then I realized that this clock was positioned in the front of the room within easy view of the monks. Hmmmm. I guess the Rinpoche sometimes gets a little long-winded?



Okay, more photos tomorrow, I promise. I've spent the last three hours downloading disk 2 onto a flash drive. Huge pain in the a**. In fact, I can no longer sit in this seat : )

Namaste!
