Happy New Year from Boudhanath

A Happy New Year of 2070 to you. We spent some of this celebratory day circumambulating the stupa at Boudhnath. Boudha is one of my special places and I make sure to visit each time I am in Kathmandu.

We started the day with our favourite Indian breakfast and did a few errands. A visit to Everest Hardware and hearing Om mani padme Om emanating from every second shop confirmed that I ha arrived in KTM. Much of this feels like coming home.

We seen my Nepali brother Raj a few times and have been talking possibilities for future trips. Yes indeed, it’s like coming home.

    This building is very interesting. I understand that the eyes are looking in four directions….N..S..E..and west. It is a temple? Do people pray while they are walking around it?
    It is beautiful….in an unusual way.
    It is nice to see that the sky is blue.
    What is the daytime temperature?
