People of Nepal

I asked Matt what he thought about my blog and he said there was not enough about people. Fair call.
We've spent the last 3 days in Tansen relaxing, reading and sleeping. Boosting up the energy before we head to India. I've enjoyed Tansen with its ancient architecture, narrow streets and dark cubbyhole like shops. The people here are friendly and kind. You walk down the street with a namaste, palms press and smile every few metres. We're staying with a retired economics professor a real gentleman called manmohan. The local momo shop family greet us with smiles and a freshly made batch of momos whenever we appear. Even just walking around the bazaar it's not unusual for a local to fall in to step beside you and start chatting. Where are you from? How long are you here? Where are you going?
Tomorrow we cross the border to India and head to Varanasi. I've loved Nepal with its mountains,forests and flowers,ancient cultures, Hindu and Buddhism rubbing shoulders and the friendly people of Nepal.

Namaste Sandy
