Adventures in Nepal with the Madre! :)

I first want to start off by saying that I am so extremely proud of my mom for coming to Nepal with me and for being so adventurous. The week that she was here was such a whirlwind of events that it now already feels like a dream.  For it being her first time out of the country, she definitely picked a one of a kind place to visit....and I now think she is going to need a vacation from her "vacation."  :)

This was right before her ticket flew out of her hand and she didn't think it was a big deal. Ummm...don't worry Mom, I'll get it. :)

 I'm not sure what my mom's favorite animal is, but I'm guessing it is now the cow.  After pretty much sharing a neighborhood and walking the streets with them, I don't know how it couldn't be.  I'm kind of surprised she didn't bring one home with her.

The cow was a little camera shy

I'm also going to make a prediction that my mom will now give up her car that she has at home. After a week of walking for hours in the blistering sun, muddy streets, riding in the jam packed buses, and crossing streets that aren't meant to be crossed, I can't imagine that she would want the comforts of a car again  Hmmmmm.....I guess only time will tell.

The only time you'll see my mother in tennis shoes...I guess it was the mud?  :)

Besides riding buses and getting lost in Kathmandu, we did make some time to check out some of the tourist places.  And although the drive to Nagarkot (a little town up in the hills) was a little bumpy, considering the road probably shouldn't even be classified as a road, the views were pretty stellar.

Monkey Temple...thank God for no monkey attacks

Nagarkot- pretty sure I'm obsessed with these clouds :)

Like any place, the people are usually the ones that steal your heart.  And I think my mom would agree. After spending some time with these people, being invited into their homes and being offered so much food and tea it makes you sick (literally), it's hard not to fall in love with them.

Thank you so much for coming with me Mom to see this wonderful place and meet some amazing people...and I'm glad we got to be roomies in Nepal...oh wait, we're roommates at home too!  Haha lucky you!
