Day 35

Pokhara, Nepal

Walked to Sanaogkot (?) for lunch. Walked down. Almost like Lombard Street -- very crooked. Then to Pokhara. Diner at Mona Lia. Saw cute guy, decided we wanted to meet him. Had brownie at hotel. All in all, trek not nearly as interesting as Thailand. Good views but people not as interesting.

Day 37

Kathmandu, Nepal

With Patrick. Saw the open Buddha for Indrajata. Walked around Kathmandu, then planted ourselves on stupa in Durbar Square to watch paraded Kumari - Indrajata Festival. Waited a long time. Very slow. First demon, then nothing. Then band, then nothing, etc. Men were separated from women -- many people. Police protected the Westerners. Never thought we'd make our plane. All on stupa, interesting clothing, etc. Finally diplomats arrived and King's brother (King out of town). Finally chariots came out -- couldn't get them around the corners! Cleared out quickly. Said good-bye to Patrick (and Margaret, who we also saw). Taxi driver gave us lesson in Nepalese politics.

Flew to Delhi -- Hans Plaza hotel.
