The rope maker.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

An elderly man was tearing apart woven plastic sacks (rice sacks?), twisting the fibers together and making a rope! He was selling the rope.

The women here all dress so colorful and pretty.

Vegeburger

We walked a lot today and stopped at a small shopping center for lunch at a nice little restaurant. My vegeburger came dressed so nicely. The 'flower' on top is a piece of carrot. This nice lunch was under one dollar! I've noticed all menus have extensive vegetarian options, whether 'mains' or snacks. Dad had fried vegetable momos today with two chutneys for dipping. Momos are a national snack, either steamed or fried. Kind of like samosas in India.

Kathmandu mini bus.

It's amazing how many people they can squeeze in one of these little things.
