THIS WAS MY LAST MORNING WALK IN THAMEL, SINCE WE HAD AN AFTERNOON FLIGHT. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I AM POSTING TO CATCH UP FOR THE FIRST DAYS OF 2013. I HAVEN’T COME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA THAN TO POST THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE POST PER DAY PER YEAR!

WE SPENT JANUARY 1 IN THAMEL, KATHMANDU, NEPAL! IT WAS A NIPPY 38 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT EARLY IN THE MORNING AND 63 DEGREES BY 4 PM. I ALSO ENJOYED MY DAILY EARLY MORNING CUP OF TEA.

SULTANA WANTED ME TO SEE HER GRANDCHILD.  I THEN WANTED A PHOTO OF THE TWO OF THEM.

OUR HOUSE-HELPER’S MOTHER HAS A ONE-ROOM DWELLING, WHICH SHE SHARES WITH HER SON, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND THEIR TWO DAUGHTERS.  Much of  their cooking and serving containers are stored under the bed.  This is in one of the many Bihari camps in Bangladesh.  The fresh lavender paint gives the room a nice look.

I COULDN’T RESIST SLIPPING THIS EXTRA BLOG SINCE I DO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS HERE IN OUR ROOM.

We went to this coffee since it had Wi-Fi!  That day it seemed to have a poor connection, but at least I could recharge my laptop battery!  So much for my skills at photography!  In the photo of me, my face is in focus.  In the photo of Alice her face is not in focus! Sorry, folks, maybe next time.

THIS IS A GREAT SPOT IF YOU LIKE PORTUGUESE PERI-PERI CHICKEN COOKED BY THIS SOUTH AFRICAN CHAIN RESTAURANT. IT IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!  Here is the menu in the UK: http://www.nandos.co.uk/themenu), which doesn’t differ much from the one I love in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

WE WENT TO OUR HOUSEHELPER’S BIHARI CAMP FOR THIS CELEBRATION.  BIHARIS ARE KNOWN AS GOOD COOKS!

With the new uploading method I haven’t figured out how to post for later dates, so I will post enough photos for the rest of the year for my 366 days posts! Hope to spend some vacation in Nepal from Friday until after the New Year!
