Pokhara

Our hotel in Pokhara

We drove back to Pokhara, and the sights along the 90 minute trip were sobering.  We drove past people working in the fields in the dusk, knowing that their work was dawn to dusk, and realized how hard they worked every day.  Everywhere we have gone in Nepal we have been greeted with ready smiles and graciousness, and people have shared their time, experiences and thoughts so generously.  Our goal of reaching on-demand hot water seemed to pale in the comparison of our lives with theirs - and once again we are struck by the difference in our lives given the fact of where we each happened to be born.
