Fishtail Mountain from lakeside in Pokhara, Nepal. Pokhara was one of the best places from the trip and sitting by the lake, with a coffee and good music with the towering Himalayas as a backdrop is simply ethereal. See other photos from Pokhara. |

The origional "Give Away Plan" failure...
One of the few things that I would classify as a "failure" from
the trip was my original plan to send out gifts from India. I had no idea
that sending out small packages would turn out to be as problematic as
it was and that finding things worth sending out as presents would be
so hard. This was one of those learning's but unfortunately left me disappointed
in not being able to send out things as I'd hoped. I did send out a few
gifts and that original page is here. Unfortunately
I had to turn to digital files as something to give to the people that
visit the site. But perhaps someone somewhere now has a desktop background
that makes them smile everyday when they turn on their computer and for
this I am very pleased to be able to give away smiles.
