An amazing eight hour trip back to Kathmandu and here we are again at the Padma Hotel - Mingmar and Rangi. Because we had no contacts we had to go thru a travel agent for the trek and paid way too much. If anyone needs a guide Mingmar is fantastic. He has trekked all areas of Nepal to high altitude - very experienced - and he seems to know everyone which is such a bonus. If you are thinking of Nepal and trekking please check things out first - Mingmar Sherpa His prices are sooo much more reasonable. Email is drmingmar@hotmail.com Web site www.mingramtrekguide.com

This woman is a single Mum - she made easy to understand signals regarding a worthless ex-husband. Now she weaves all day making the belts the women wear around their waist, the woven aprons etc etc. She is such a strong woman and works so hard - couldn't help but admire her.
It's a bit hard to see but if you enlarge and look carefully inside the door there is a man in the 'dental surgery' having his tooth pulled!!!!! Syrabresi.
