Looking Back: Where We Were Living

So I have realized that I have said very little about where we were living while in Nepal. We stayed in two cities. This is the first one that we were in, Kathmandu. It is the capital of Nepal and is, in one word, overwhelming. We lived in a hotel while we were there. The picture below is of the roof of the hotel. They put this beautiful tent up just for our use and it was where we spent most of out time while at the hotel. I loved it up there because it had an amazing view of the city on all sides. This roof was 7 stories up.
This is one of those great views I was talking about. This is the sunset from our roof-top on one of the last nights we were in Kathmandu.
This is Sara and I on a street outside our hotel. It is hard to tell from the pictures, but the streets are crazy! The first few days that we were in the city we were all overwhelmed by the chaos above us. It is hard to tell what sign goes to what buildings because they are just strung out over the road. Eventually you get the hang of it and then I found it fun. I really did enjoy the mystery of finding new places to eat, get laundry done, shop and email home. But as I said...this picture doesn't do the insanity justice.
