Me giving out Certificates of Appreciation at the Third National AIDS Conference at Yak and Yeti Hotel.

Priti getting a henna tattoo (mahendi). I got one too but didn't take a picture, sorry.

The Nepali month Shrawan is the time to wear mahendi and green bangles (or a mix of red, green, and yellow). We like to fit in.

A close up - it was so intricate. It cost about $2 for both hands.

Prakash's son, RN, still not sure on the spelling.

In the courtyard outside Devaki's house in Mangalbazar, Lalitpur.

Ferns inside the (unused) well.

Thought this was a fun depiction of a Newar house. That's Ginny, my friend who is a professor at Kathmandu University for half of the year, taking the photo. I met her in 2005 on the Fulbright.

In the upper right window is Devaki's husband's brother, in the upper left, his wife, and two of their children and a friend in the window below.

Devaki, her husband, and Sydney.

Sydney! It is difficult to catch her in a photo smiling. They asked me what her shirt meant, and I tried my best to explain!
