We are in the Thamel District of Kathmandu. The narrow streets are congested with people of all ages, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, bicycles, and transport vehicles. The honking of horns, and police officers direct the chaos and surprisingly everyone seems to manage without incident. The sound of monks chanting and the smell of incense burning creates an underlying atmosphere of peace and calm. Despite the chaos of street life and the extraordinary difference in economic realities, I feel safe and secure, and at peace. This country has the ability to affect your heart! Indeed, visiting this country is a moving experience.
