The November course for this year has finished. It seems like it just started. I will be leaving for Bhutan on Dec. 9 and returning to Kathmandu on Dec. 16. I am not sure of the internet access there but I imagine it shouldn’t be a problem.

As a group we were all bused to Swayambhunath stupa. Probably the second most holy site in Kathmandu after Boudhanath stupa. We all circumambulated the site which took approximately one hour.

Jim I love the time lapses…seeing and hearing the prayer wheel like it’s in my living room and seeing Boudhanath Stupa. Some beautiful photos! I really like the photo of the Himalayan Mountains behind the Stupa, Rebecca
Thank you Rebecca. I have a fairly smart camera that makes it a little easier
