Michael and Ellie-dog... hikin' - Kathmandu

Sarah adopted Ellie about a year ago and now she loves Michael as well. Michael walks her, feeds her, etc. Ellie loved our hike! She enjoyed the hot hike, tried making friends with ALL the animals along the way, and basically just loves life... as doggies should.  : )

It was great to spend a week with a dog around.

animals from Sankhu to Nagarkot! hikin'... Kathmandu

Many, many goats, cows, and chickens along our hike!!

Ellie-dog wanted to play and make 'friends' with everyone... especially the chickens, who weren't too sure of her. The people we came along also weren't too sure of Ellie. She is a gorgeous golden retriever but most Nepalese have never seen this breed of dog before. ...We really scared one guy! Whoops!

Nepal's people along the way... hikin'

There were not many people along our hike... other than some that lived in the houses and others that seemed to be working and/or hiking with goods to a next town... Everyone was friendly and I enjoyed being able to say hello to everyone with a 'Namaste!'

hiking - Sankhu to Nagarkot, Kathmandu

Sarah's boyfriend, Michael, and I took a day-hike outside the valley of the city and it was really nice. We even brought their golden retriever, Ellie, along! The day was hot but it was great to get outside the city, breathe fresh air, and see more of the land... and animals!

We walked from Sankhu to Nagarkot - both small towns.
