Flying out of Delhi and heading north east we arrived in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It is a beautiful city set in a valley with mountains all around. It likely is actually a high plateau.
We arrived and were met by Bijoy R and people from our hotel. They were glad to see us as we were glad to see them. After loading up our luggage and all of us into a small bus we headed out for our hotel. This is at least my fourth year in coming here to this hotel. It is wonderful to come to a place where you know people and where you are known.
We spent some time exploring the Old City of Kathmandu in the early evening and then the small side streets where there were many bead sellers. It seems that in every city we have visited we find that certain products are sold in a given area. You move on and find the next series of shops for another product. When people are looking for a given item they can go to an area of the city and find many choices in the shops for that item.
There is such a hustle and bustle in the movement of people and vehicles as everyone is doing their best to accomplish the things before them. Again and again we have been impressed by the activity and diligence of the people we see.
We returned to our hotel for an 8:00 p.m. supper and then we were off to bed. It had been a great day.!
