Bhaktapur & Nagarkot
Day two here in Nepal! We started this adventure with help from our tour guide and friend Shree Ram Pandey. We packed up the bus and headed to the temples of Durbar Square of Bhaktapur. Here we saw the temples and past palaces of old Nepali Kings. We admired much of the stone, metal, and woodcarvings of the architecture. This is where we stopped to take many photos and make friends with the animals that inhabit the square. Finally, we got to experience the down pours of rain we had been hearing about. The tourists the filled the crowed square all ran for cover. We survived the crazy rains and from Bhaktapur we loaded back on to the bus and headed up the winding mountain roads to Nagarkot in hopes to see the Himalayas. We did not manage to see them but did still enjoy the views and had time for a long walk. On the way back to the guest house in Thamel, we had a chance to stop and see the highest point of Nagarkot. On top of the world! We made it back safely late Sunday morning and are anxious to get into the classrooms tomorrow!
