Pictures - part 1

First, some pictures of Nepal and Kathmandu...

This is not Mt. Everest but the view of the Himalaya we had on our overnight visit into the mountains. The place was called Nagarkot and offered a stunning panorama. This is a sunrise over the Himalayan mountains.

This is us a few minutes later...

This is Kathmandu as seen from the Monkey Temple, facing east. It is a teeming city of millions of people and to be perfectly honest, we couldn't find a single person that liked it.

Heading up into the foothills of the Himalaya we came across some very typical homes and "normal" Nepali people. Primitive, although this particular building was pretty decent.

This picture was taken from our taxi so it isn't great, but it does give you an idea of how people in the city live. Yes, those shacks are dwellings and yes, the creek at the bottom was covered in trash.
