On Saturday, a friend and I went out to explore the city on our own. We had a grand time navigating the streets and alleyways and I got to practice my Nepali. I was definitely more in my element. I felt like I was testing myself - could I get around Kathmandu without getting lost? Since I am writing this, I can say it was a successful adventure! Here are a couple photos from the day.

| This is the section of the palace with the 9 floors. I have been to the top... once was enough! |

| Saturday is holy day- so worshipers flock to the temples and religious sites. |

| Older brother finds respite from younger brother...sort of. He had been higher up the pole, but was slowly slipping down. |

| Another cow on the streets. Actually on the way home a whole herd of cows was on the side of the road and one decided that he wanted to cross just as we were approaching. I was a bit scared of hitting it, but we swerved and continued without mishap. Phew! |
