63.15 Nepal: Life in-and-about Pokhara and much more.

Many of the pictures have an innocent (partly) bystander in them. Unfortunately, this occurs because most of these eclectic shots are Jen's style. The subject is then found in compromising situations (many of those omitted) and other less than stellar positions. Sacrifices, sacrifices! 


  Sorry, pal, we're going to walk. I don't think I can get you on that bus. Now in the USA, we could probably get you a discriminatory settlement. Perhaps, we're both citizens of the wrong countries.
There is the sidewalk and I suppose the cattle-walk respectively...but what do we know!
Here's the deal. You leave Jenni alone and I won't milk you. Deal? Calf behind mom.
The proverbial Hen-Party...I finally get it. Returning from the tough Sarangkot Peak as we pass through a village.
A stag get together...
Heart-warming and breaking, too. We crossed paths with Krishna 2 weeks earlier in a similar position. He awakens each morning, probably before 6am, milks his cows, walks to town down the mountain for a couple of hours, delivers the can of milk and returns thereafter. We often think of the many tough situations people face before we whine, wait a little and then moan. In the picture, he prepares his assistant for his first delivery.
Look, Dad, no helmet. At least dad's safer than mom and baby. Nice! Often, we see a family of 4 on a scooter.
Scary! We think a Greater Black Krait...surprisingly, Jen decided not to approach and confirm. Tough looking guy!
Classy women...many of them.
Some of the toughest and most energetic hikers in the world are found in Nepal.Well, not always. Far better to observe Shanti Stupa ahead and Shiva Temple on the next peak. It's more relaxing and educational viewing the targets than getting all sweaty and tired like the macho's do.

Jen loves a picture of a ripened (vrot) tomato, so I oblige. A rather tidy store.
A rather busy intersection as we head for the jungle ahead...we may have arrived prematurely.
I know exactly what you're feeling in that position, fella. En route to Methlang.
In our last blog, we wrote about 'hope'...tough situation.
Mary Poppins visits Nepal before cheering crowds...figured Gene Kelly would not work in this type of rainy situation.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
