Swayambhunath Stupa, Nepal
Known popularly as "The Monkey Temple"

Last day in Nepal...sad to leave. It's been great: great people and food. Annapurna trek was definitely the highlight...seeing beautiful landscapes and industrious people. They live close to the earth, although tourism--especially trekking--is changing the rural landscape. Farms are being abandoned, as the money is more lucrative with trekkers. The higher up the mountain, the higher the prices. Pony freight is costly (ha ha). A hot shower and a bed thicker than two inches of cotton batt will be greatly appreciated. Was at this Monkey Temple yesterday. One of the buggers grabbed my arm--Eeek!
