Kathmandu Prayer Flags

After 2 overpaid taxis, 5 pesty porters, a 27 hour overnight train ride, another 5 equally pesty porters, a cycle rickshaw, horse and buggy, a $60 VISA bribe to Nepalese immigration officers, a 4 hour jeep ride on some of the world’s highest roads through the Himalaya through the night, I arrive to Kathmandu in Nepal with travel companions Bonnie and Jamey. 37 hours; my longest travel time to get anywhere. I welcome the cleaner and crisper air of Nepal. The skies are filled with brightly colored flags.
