Texture of Nepal

I don't know what it all means...but some say that through the images we are able to contact the gods, and through the images they are able to be mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land. This is our last day in Nepal, last day in the crazy cacophony of Kathmandu.
 I sometimes feel like the almost blind spice man, who has to hold the newspaper in inch away from his face to be able to read at all.
