Dasain Holiday

Here are a few things we did during Axel's week off for Dasain holiday. ..

We bought beautiful necklaces for a beautiful girl at the bead market.

We saw spiritual men who kind of creeped us out and yet, we wished we could have taken more pictures of them without looking weird.

We got tikas with rice in them and found that no one could explain to us why.

We encountered the worst dog we have have seen in Kathmandu yet.

We chased pigeons at the temples.

We not only followed a bunch of bulls on the main road, but also a pig head.
