Merry Christmas from Nepal

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced dust quite like the dust of Kathmandu in the dry season!! I will remember this trip for 3 things: dust, majestic mountains and the Nepali people. The dust made you choke, the mountains took my breath away and the people captured my heart!
