| Our welcome to the Dwarika Hotel in Kathmandu |
Tuesday, February 20 Nepal
After our visit to Bhaktapur, we boarded our busses and entered the crazy traffic again, driving back past the airport and then beyond
to our hotel for the evening: Dwarika’s Hotel. We were greeted at the entrance with white blessing shawls
and glasses of beer, wine and water.
The hotel is a beautiful and peaceful oasis, with buildings fashioned
very much like what we saw in Bhaktapur and the elaborate woodcarving of the window and door
frames. There are flower filled vessels of water, bubbling fountains, and
incense burning in small shrines, all making a great perfume in the air. We
received our room information and went to clean up for a set of
lectures and dinner. Dinner was
ala carte and Mike selected the
Japanese restaurant, Mako’s.

| This hotel building reminded me of the Palace of the 55 Windows |

| Incense burning in the morning filled the courtyard with a beautifully fragrant perfume |

| Packed and ready to go on Wednesday morning |
