I'm also curious to know whether you were lucky enough to get a window seat for the landing on your flight in - the approach coming into Kathmandu airport can get intense! It's an unnervingly short runway, and it's completely surrounded by mountains. And sometimes fog. And wind. But the raw natural beauty of the scenery below (and the corresponding adrenaline rush) is totally worth it.
Also, great pics! I liked the elephant, and those rugs are seriously works of art! I bet they were even more impressive to see (and touch) in person. Each one looks so intricate and unique - I hope you were able to find the perfect one to commemorate your trip, and bring the beauty and inspiration from your travels into your home. :)

@relocait, thank you. Kathmandu airport, though hairy, is nothing compared to Lukla's. That story is coming!
Crazier than Kathandu?! Looking forward to it. :)
I was grounded by the bliss, @timsaid! :)
