Festival of Diwali

We had the good fortune to spend the festival of Diwali in the enchanted city of Pokhara. The holiday is the Hindu celebration of light and it is much like our Christmas, only more colorful. It was wonderful to see this small city decked in lights and drenched with color. We are proceeding to the border to try to enter Tibet. I'll keep you posted. Bob and I have broken away from the group to sample Nepali cooking. I'm so glad we did. The food is similar to, but lacks the fire of some of the Indian food we have sampled on our trip. I hate to see this adventure coming to an end. It really has been a wonderful experience. I hope you are all well. Blessings...Mary
