Today I visited a city inside the Kathmandu Valley. It was an amazing city with numerous temples. The most exciting thing was that it was up in the mountains and, therefore, no pollution. It was wonderful to breathe fresh air for a short time. There were a lot of shops. Surprise! Surprise! I bought a few things and not even sure if I wanted them. I think I am getting good at negotiation, but I could be very wrong and these guys are laughing at a sucker. I will definitely need another, hopefully small, bag before I leave.
There was a political rally in one of the temple squares. Nepal is definitely a very volatile political country. I did read a paper and it was interesting that they viewed the status of the US as more positive than our papers view it.
After getting home I wandered to find a pharmacy to cure all my ills. The pharmacies look like little store fronts and there are many of them. I have no idea what I bought or am taking. I am sure I will survive.
Namaste
