At 6 am the dogs start barking and the Muslim temple begins its morning chants. Funny how it never changes. The American Embassy cautions Americans about going outside the Kathmandu Valley. But things are definitely heating up. The government is not helping much by sticking their heads in the sand.

On a lighter note, we bought a refrigerator today. Never thought I would be buying an appliance in Nepal.
