In the airport in Pokhara, catching our flight to Jomson. Security consists of going into a room and getting a brief pat down. Gents in one room, ladies in another.

Three Nights in the Village

Here are some more pictures from Nepal.

We are leaving for the rural village to work on the biogas converters. The traffic in Kathmandu in crazy. No traffic laws. One way streets but everyone goes both ways and horns honking constantly. Stray dogs all over, some just laying in the street dying, others appear to be hanging in the butcher shop. Kind of hard to eat meat now. Shops and vendors everywhere--very persistent.

Caleb Shane and Randy eating lunch overlooking a Buddhist Temple.

Body being burned. The ashes or whatever is left is then thrown into the river.

Letting the feet of the dead body, wrapped in yellow cloth, touch the river water before being burned.

Cutting a goat head in half

Street butcher---flies everywhere

Monkey at the Monkey Temple. A Hindu Temple where the dead are burned and then thrown into the river.
