Durbar Square must be one of the most aesthetically spiritual places we've seen. The architecture, the prayer flags, and the Hindu clothes of the locals all come together to create a scene from a mystical fairytale.

| Inside the palace. |
 |
| From the top of the palace there are some amazing views over the city, as well as the surrounding Kathmandu Valley. |
 |
| Bhimsen Tower. |
 |
| Back down at street level, we browsed the local market for souvenirs. |

| Angela buys some earrings. |
 |
| Rather than take a cab, we decided to walk back to Thamel, since the streets on the way seemed just as interesting as Durbar Square, with so many curious sights to see, and people to watch. |
 |
| Buying some Nepali popcorn. |
 |
| Back at our hostel, we saw a dog navigating the nearby rooftops. |
 |
| A traditional Nepali dinner. |
 |
| Evening drizzle. |
There was still much more to see and do in Kathmandu, and in the next post we'll be watching Hindu cremations, circling a humungous stupa, and idling in a garden of dreams. For now, I'll leave you with a Nepal-themed joke I recently made up during a four-hour bus ride.
