Nepal was fascinating, as were the other countries I visited. But their diet is not nearly as varied as the USA, again as were the other countries. I think this was possibly the design of the tour group to 1) keep things simple for our tender stomachs, and 2) stick with foods which conforms with the nation’s tradition. I found the food repetitive and largely bland(!). There were limited attempts to vary the meals, but in the end it failed for me. I leave this 50 day adventure desperate for a host of differing foods.

Looks like a Bachelorette Party, but there are guys there too. There was also a dance rehearsal.

Live cows in the middle of the road. Just another day of traffic. I had a thought: What if Hinduism had decided that elephants were sacred?
