Sunday Funday

Wow. Just wow. Today we had the opportunity to see many exciting sites of NEPAL!!! Our journey started bright and early with a trip to the Pashupati Temple. Imagine the most amazing things you have ever seen ... okay got it? Now triple it. This temple, or Stupa as it is known commonly in Nepal is breath taking (good thing we are in the medical field in case this does in fact happen). The sky is covered in the colors of Nepalese prayer flags symbolizing earth, water, air, fire and sky. We had the chance to do a little shopping (or for some people, a lot of shopping ... )and visit a Buddhist temple. We then journeyed to Bhaktapur square and enjoy a traditional Nepalese lunch. The sights, sounds and smells were overwhelming -- in a good way (most of the time) and we engulf the culture wholeheartedly. Our nerves were put to the test on our next trek up to Nagarkot. Imagine slowly climbing a mountain with a van, on a road that is the size of a tooth pick. Literally... among many other drivers. After making the ascent to the top, we saw the glorious Mt. Everest from a distance as we took in how much we have done and seen thus far. AMAZING. Nepal and its incredible culture is etched in our hearts, minds, bodies and souls forever (and ever). Team Nepal -- Out (if the dogs allow ... )
