A Kathmandu street. Typical of the last several countries we have visited, Nepal's streets are crowded with tuk-tuks, pedicabs, and hawkers trying to sell anything and everything they can to tourists.
Here, Nepalese men charm snakes with their seductive music.
This musician sang and played music with his friends during the curfew, at Nancy's request. It was a great way to stave off boredom and learn some Nepalese culture.

| Notes: During the first five minutes of our walk through Kathmandu, Matt and I found a whimpering, crying, screaming dog curled up in a gutter. Not knowing what to do, we took him to the animal hospital, where he was diagnosed with canine distemper. We had to have him put to sleep. I bawled my eyes out as I held him while the doctor administered the painless death drug. Later, we enjoyed Kathmandu, and I heard some traditional folk singing and music. Back in Delhi, the team worked and played. Everybody is well. (N.O.) | ||
