Bangladesh; rural school

These children peering from the window in their school were as interested in us as we were in them!

Nepal: Kathmandu zoo

The zoo in Kathmandu was a delightful zoo - meant for the enjoyment of the local families.  One of the highlights for us was riding the elephant.  As the elephant is considered a sacred animal, our stroll around the zoo included many stops for people to touch the elephant in gestures of sacred blessings.

This is the piano we rented and this is how they delivered it!  Very efficient and not a scratch on it.

Nepal trek

This was taken high above Kathmandu on the summit of one of the "hills".  We had porters to carry most of our gear and and were wearing good walking shoes but were exhausted at this point.  Along came this lovely group of ladies wearing flip flops and plastic sandals and not out of breath at all!  Note that even our porter was resting.
