more pics from nepal.

I realized after I'd posted the last entry that I hadn't included enough pictures of this extremely photogenic place. so here they are, in no particular order. forgive me -- it's late, I've had two glasses of wine, and I'm leaving for europe early tomorrow morning!

USB love,
cindy


crossing a stone bridge with bamboo railings, somewhere between tatopani and beni on one of the last days of the trek.





















a tall ridge carved by two rivers that converge later downstream.




















a great view of one of the annapurna peaks from the manang side of the trek.

















cobblestoned alleyway in marpha, the 'delightful apple capital of nepal.'




















flier posted at every safe drinking water station along the route.





















a quiet lane in kagbeni.




















the view from kagbeni into the upper mustang region, which can only be entered by special permit.
















a traditional ladder hewn out of a log.




















kagbeni, one of the first towns after the thorung la pass. that zigzag up the slope is an actual trail.
















crossing a bridge near chame with two young nepali friends.




















a roaring river near bagarchhap.




















a pretty river scene near the start of the trek.





















delaney on a nepali bus, which has obviously not been engineered with 5'11" westerners in mind.
