Letting some of my students lead the way, along the long bumpy road to our school.

Cool morning in Manamaiju

May 28, 2015 by Teacher Jack in Kathmandu Nepal

Cool morning in Manamaiju
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, 2002

Friends and neighbors share a cool morning in Manamaiju. 

Walking through this area nine years later with a copy of this photo in hand, I was directed by neighbors to Alisha (above in the blue shawl), who now runs her own shop.

Update: I also recently ran across the photo below. Seems to be taken in 2002 as well, although on a slightly warmer day.
