Celebration and Wow, I'm ready to go home!! Some pics from the start and then the end of my journey.

Kathmandu from Linda B. pics






Unbelievable, this man worked a sewing machine with no serger and managed to create miracles on badges/shirts completely freehand!!!


Kathmandu is 80% Hindi and less than 20% Buddhist. Some characters in Durbar Square that will pose for money!!


On the south side of the square is Kumari Ghar, the three story residence of the Kumari Devi ( an actual living godess ) . I thought the sign was priceless!






















The rickshaws are abundant in the heart of old Kathmandu.

















Durbar Square ( translates as Palace ) . We walked here on the first day in Kathmandu. It's an astounding concentration of more than 50 temples, shrines and old palaces within a square.





Breakfast at Hotel Manaslu when we arrived Sunday Oct. 3, 2010. We lost a day travelling from Canada.




























Letting our hair down and celebrating before the planned Victory dinner in Kathmandu on the Friday night after flying from Lukla. The Hotel Manaslu was an average hotel by North American standards but after our trip to the Himalayan Mountains it seemed like a luxury resort!!






Unfortunately Paula was not privy to my research prior to leaving for Kathmandu . The wine was like vinegar. Stick with beer!!!!
