the All Seeing Eye

|
Shahrina & my mom, under the fluttering prayer flags
|
|
|
|
Shahrina and I, with our our mom and dad
|
|
at a rooftop cafe overlooking the stupa where we got nepali tea and momos (i got so addicted to nepali tea, i crave it all the time now)
|
|
me dad
|
|
|
|
streets of Thamel, very touristy, but still enjoyable
|
|
rooftop cafe in Thamel. more nepali tea! (it was so cold there, the tea felt good)
|
|
|
the little moppit! (my nickname for my cutie adorable little nephew)
|
|
snack cart/baby stroller
|
|
it was very cold at night (30 F), and most people don't have heating in their homes. we'd see people warming themselves by little streetside fires
|
|
informal vegetable market around one of the many squares of kathmandu
|
|
brother & sister-in-law enjoying a rickshaw ride (actually, we got lost in the narrow winding streets trying to get to the Garden of Dreams, and so we ended up taking riskshaws only to discover it was 3 minutes walk from our hotel)
|
|
|
having breakfast at yet another rooftop cafe. kathmandu is filled with these rooftop cafes, that was one of my favourite things about the city.
|
|
|
the moppit was fascinated with any animal shaped figures he saw on this trip. checking out the garden of our hotel...
|
|
i was babysitting the moppit while brother & sister-in-law were having breakfast. so i took him to the garden which held his interest for about 10 minutes
|
|
|
discovering the texture of flowers
|
|
the Garden of Dreams! what an evocative name, and so disappointing. 3 minutes walk from our hotel, we got lost & got to it after walking around for 40 minutes & finally taking rickshaws. basically nicely maintained old colonial garden
|
|
had to take pics - our experience, the expectation, and the ultimate blahness was too funny
|
|
|
visiting my mom's friend - her husband works for the UN and they've lived in Kathmandu for a long time
|
|
|
celebrating my mom's birthday
