Trip to Trishuli and Back.

The call to an early morning run by
the army woke us up each morning

The students loved having their
photo taken and then looking
at it....thank goodness
for digital. What did we do before?

Fording the waterfall

Smiling faces.

Looking north to the mountains.
We actually never saw them... we
wondered if they really existed!

As we climbed up two thousand
feet  I just kept taking photos so as
not think about the immediate drop
the side of the road.

It was the Teis Festival - a three day
holiday in which women head home
to visit relatives and forget their hard
lives.

Knee high in a rice paddy.

The three trainers

I saw this and thought.. My
cup runneth over!

Lunch with the gang.

Apparently red does not affect Water
Buffalos like it does cows.

There was a funeral across the
street from the school the two days
we were there.  This was on the
second day when the candles are
lit to help the dead waft its way to
heaven

Enjoying the view, while waiting for
the road to be cleared.

This digger was on the edge of a 1000
foot drop!

It was 90 KM to Trishuli in 3 hours
and 70 back to town in 4 hours.
You do the math.
