Two more Wonders of Nepal; Sushma and Ankita!


Wow!


Ankita's Father is the Samosa Master!

We are really, really, really busy enjoying the Beauty of Nepal right now.  Somebody has to do it...so it might as well be us! B^>

Gelu Sherpa and Phill Michael are reunited after a more than three year hiatus from Nepal!

Gelu Sherpa (Dawa's Nephew) has returned from his hamburger flipping job in the Saudi Arabia...so the two Moto Manchis(rough translation from Nepali to English: 'Big/Phat Men') are exploring a country we had both been sorely missing in 2010.


Phuri's Monastery, Phill Michael and the Mini Time Machine.


Phuri Sherpa reflects upon the Past and the Future...


Ramro!

We managed to roll over to Phuri's Buddhist Monastery and have a little visit...as well as visit a nearby Hindu Temple.


The Pristine Forest of Dakshinkali!


The many bells of Dakshinkali!

There are endless sites for spiritual devotion in Nepal...possibly too many to see in a lifetime! Luckily we all have more than one life to lead...=^]


Mr. Pokhrel makes it all happen!

Now we are in the Tanahun region...fresh from:

-participating in a festival to honour Nepal's greatest poets

-rubbing shoulders with the President of Nepal and his associates

-ascending Mt. Tanahunsur with Mr. Ram Chandra Pokhrel

-laying foundations for the Banu Peace Path that may well link projects similar to the SherpaSchool.ORG

-etc, etc.


A sweet voice sings for the President of Nepal!


The beginnings of the Banu Peace Path!

More about all that in my next dispatch.

Currently, we're ensconced in the Santosh Hotel in Damauli...where there is the fastest Wi-Fi I have experienced since arriving in Nepal. Ramro! B^]

Nepali New Year was last night...so we thought we would be stuffing toilet paper in our ears...to block out the party noises...but silence reigned supreme by 11pm?! Strange but true. I expected the noise of drunken revelers to be near deafening...as Nepali people will generally make any excuse to celebrate Life...which...in my opinion...is admirable. B^]

I was picturing us weaving around passed out party goers today...bloated, snoring pylons on a (hopefully) deserted highway. We shall see...

It's 2068 at the Centre of the Universe(Nepal)...as we continue to look toward to a bright future without boundaries! Let us ALL rejoice...regardless of our respective GPS coordinates!

Until Soon
Phill =^)
