Pokhara/Back in Kathmandu

After flying back from Bhutan we headed straight for Pokhara, a trekkers base camp set on the second largest lake in Nepal. We met some great people... Dave from Ireland and Aaron from Australia, and had a blast eating some yummy food, getting our laundry done, and paddling around the lake. We really didn't do too much :) We got back to Kathmandu yesterday and got right back to business, visiting Bodhanath ( Buddhist stupa and large expat Tibetan community ) and Pashupatinath ( Sacred Shiva temple ). William ate some crazy Bhel Puri off the street and we contemplated our own mortality as we watched the cremations happening next to the river at Pashupatinath. Next we're off to Patan and Bhaktapur... so we'll keep you updated. We're having some issues posting photos ( Nepal is not the most modern place ), but we're working on it. Bye for now... W and E
