French kissing the guard dog out side a Hindu temple.
On our way back down from the top of the world
Scoundrel's viewpoint outside of Gokyo, Everest is the mountain with the cloud cover.
Rhino hunting in the trees. (Leah is getting bitten by lots of ants at this very moment and doesn't realise till she gets down) Harka our guide is above me.
Must be very patient and quiet when looking for Rhinos.
Elephants attach the city of Chitwan! Elephants are everywhere and we loved watching them bath.
The lovely bell that ruled our life for our 10 day meditation class.After 2 days of hiking in the jungle, we get our rhino sighting! We had to climb several trees, follow foot prints, and rhino dung to get to this point. Very exciting.
I got to get my hands dirty! Potters square in Bakdipure, Nepal. It is a whole community that produces pottery. It is very rudimentary but the clay is actually very nice and compact. I was surprised that the clay felt so well wedged. To fire the pottery they just stack it up layers of pots then layers of hay.... then it is all covered with ash. Then they burn the hay for 3 days. No glazes just natural looking pots. It was a very fun atmosphere.

Love the pictures! Glad you now have the capabilities of posting them AND keeping in touch a little more regularly! You're missing lots of snow & cold here. Spent a couple hours shoveling yesterday. Really should learn to use the snow blower! It's 6:30am and I'm getting ready for what I hope will be the 1st of 3 workouts today. Can you believe that? Things are changing! Have fun, meditate, and keep us posted!
Hi Guys! Forgot to ask: Leah, how did the potters react to your throwing? Do they get lots of tourists who want to try but have no idea what they're doing? I hope you were a pleasant surprise! Made it to my 3 workouts, they were great. Hope I can keep it up, I Got home to find out my mom is in the hospital, don't know how things will go now.
