Nepal-Kathmandu-Boudhanath (Day 104) PART 2

Well it was a short visit for Jirel with his wife and little boy.  His wife had to be back at work in another town that evening so she and his boy headed out on a bus after lunch.

After the bus stop we headed up to Monkey Temple or Swayambhunath.  It was pretty funny walking into all these sites because it was free for Nepalese so if we forgot to pay because we were just following Jirel then I’d get chased down to go back and pay.

A bunch of monkeys running. Lots of dogs were also around Monkey Temple and the two seemed to have a bit of a tuff war.

After the temple we made a stop at a mall and then walked from there.  We were not really sure where we were walking but just followed Jirel.
