| Nuns at a monastery just outside Kathmandu. |
It already seems like a hundred years ago, but just last
month we were in Nepal. While there I took a day hike with Social Tours to get
out of the city and get some exercise. Their Lunch with Nuns Tour found me and
my guide walking the trails in Shivapuri National Park. Our steps carried us
through dry hillsides desperately awaiting the rainy season, past monkeys who
eyeballed my backpack even as they scampered away, and finally up to a
monastery. It was here that I snapped this photo, settled down to a lovely
lunch (not with the nuns, but prepared by and near them), before hiking
back down through a series of small villages. It was easily one of my best days
on the trip.
