One day to entertain ourselves, C and I sought out the Kathmandu Durbur square. "Durbar" means palace (I think) and so there are a 3 all over the Kathmandu valleys where big palaces used to be. They're pretty cool - TONS of temples and very very old architechture. There are old men dressed as "buddha" who walk around and try to put "tika" (that red paint you see many hindu people sporting). Charlotte and I get our fair share of Tika at the orphanage so we didn't really want to be harassed by this buddha man, plus, he blesses you and then asks for money. Anywho, I really wanted a picture of him because he's really cool looking. I have yet to be successful because he's quite persuasive.
