42 Things, Part Three

29. Returning to Nepal

Another visit to the children and places I loved so much the first time around was a joy. Thought the children had grown, some rocky steps became more smooth and my experiences in Asia had expanded, the place still holds magic for me.



30. Unpaid Work



31. Bangladesh






32. Safari

After some frustration in a small town dependent on tourism, I was talked into a "safari" at a close-by National Park. It turned out to be a fantastic day, and one of my absolute favorites on the Indian Subcontinent.




33. Swimming

On the way home from the safari, our guide stopped the jeep and invited us to swim in a small river. The Dutch guy I was with, Peter, was too worried about getting sick, but I had a great time! I swam in my clothes...




34. Jeep Dancing

We dried off by dancing in the back of the open jeep on the way back.

35. Gwalior




36. Rickshaws





37. Highway Spotting



38. Babas

A close relative of a friend died young and unexpectedly. I was invited to view the body at the family home and see the body off to be cremated. We waited hours for the body to finish and as the sun started to set a group of 35-40 Babas, or Holy men, descended on the temple.
