Bhaktapur

This is a nice town. Lots of tourist shops, but not many tourists stay. We stayed overnight at the lovely Sunny Guest House. Loud, but nice. I got up very early and went for a misty stroll as the devoted performed their morning puja as the ugly American snapped away. I tried to be unobtrusive, but what can I say? I live to commodify the rituals of the devoted.
