| Paton Dubar Square idol, near Kathmandu, Nepal |
This time around we have chosen the fifth floor of the Karma Travelers Lodge.
Our shanty room opens up to a courtyard of urban sprawl and roof top views; twin size beds receive light and air from both sides of the room, screened windows let a cross flow of breezes filter in
and it has become pre monsoon month.
It may rain torrents like yesterday as we splashed through puddles viewing the Paton Dubar Square temples. They where magnificent ancient buildings however, even in the downpour, while heavy rains kept coming.......we jumped from one overhang to another missing the rain but got to see its work, its relentlessness.
Almost as immediately as these rains fell, the sun came out. Steep waters are sucked into the gutters leaving roads with only patches of wet remembrances. Muggy, humid days but extreme dry too comes and goes......weather changes from a quick setting to another.
This time around, I sleep better. Kathmandu shuts down by 11 pm; noises subdue and the place slumbers. The whole district is blanketed with a stillness of quiet. And, this time around, I rest with everyone else.
