A Day of Cycling

Our money saving tip: Buy an air pressure gauge if you plan on doing any cycling while you are here in Nepal. People tend to get a lot of flat tires and I believe I‘ve discovered the reason. People, even some mechanics, do not have an air pressure gauge so the tire is fine when they fix it, but after the person drives a while the air gets hot and expands. Driving on over inflated tires is not good, especially when the roads are filled with pot-holes and rocks; it’s a flat tire waiting to happen. 

Wishing you a very Happy Holi!

Holi is my absolute favorite festival here in Nepal. It is just so much fun to play with these gentle children and young people. 

My day of celebration began with a knock at my door. When I opened the door it was my landlady/neighbor with a tray of colored powder. She put some of the powder on my face, both cheeks and forehead with a greeting of “Happy Holi!”
