We saw the most decorated vehicles and different styles of rickshaws in each village we went through. It was as if they were having a contest to see which village could get the most creative.

Men and boys sewing tiny beads on saree fabric. Unbelievably tedious work, but so beautiful.

More Sadus at the cremation place.

The two beggars here are lepers. You will notice how their toes and fingers have shrunken away.
There were many more lepers, beggars, and vendors. Fred had a herd of them following him around. He's always so nice to them which is different than all the other tourists who shun them.
As a result he gets trampled. I'll have to get a picture of this spectacle one of these times. He has made friends with quite a few at some of the markets we frequent in Delhi.

More pictures of the cremation sight.

Although it was chilly in Kathmandu, it was still quite green and the flowers were still blooming. the red rose looking flowers are actually curly poinsettias. The Poinsettias thrive outside and eventually grow into small trees. We saw both kinds. The purple flowers are just the leaves on the end of the branches of the shrub which have turned purple, and the white ones were everywhere along the roadsides. We think they were monster morning glorys.

The following pictures are of me standing by the old baptismal font, the new baptismal font, the sign in the bathroom, and the L.D.S. church building in Kathmandu Nepal. Isn't that the best sign ever. Many times I have suspected that someone has stood on my toilet seat and then used it as a squatter here at my apartment. I think I need to get a sign like that.

This first picture is of the Branch President in Kathmandu. He is also the full time guard at the Earl's home. They are one of the senior couples there.

The rest of the pictures are of Kathmandu and surrounding areas. We found it to be a lot cleaner than New Delhi but still pretty dirty and primitive. We loved everything about the trip though. It was so much fun. I will be putting more pictures on soon.
