Today we played tourists and hit all the main attractions. We first went to Devi Falls – a huge waterfall that comes out of Lake Fewa. We went to a cool cave where we hiked down a very long way and at the bottom was a temple. We were not allowed to take pics, but it was very interesting. Then we stopped at a Tibetan refuge camp and the young monks showed us around their temples and showed Page how to spin wheels. Page loved the carpet factory that was full of beautiful carpets all made by monks. Last stop was the Pagoda Peace Temple and Page and I hiked a long way to get to the top, she never complained despite the very warm temperatures. We treated ourselves to an ice cream on the way down and practiced saying “Ba” w/ a Nepali baby. More than once other tourists would ask Page if they could take her picture, she was too shy so I would be in the picture, too. She gets a lot of attention. Pokhara is normally crawling with tourists but because of the earthquake there are very few. (She dressed herself – wanted to look like the Nepali women who wear pants and long skirts.)
