A walk in Nepal, 1965

Months ago I posted an image from a postcard my mom sent from Nepal to her siblings back in the US.

Here is a slide she took on that trip.

I love the old buildings with the mountain view at the end of the street. (Sorry the slide quality isn’t the greatest. It’s been sitting in a shoebox for 45 years.)

When my mom arrived in Kathmandu on hiatus from traveling around India, she was alone. But she soon met an American professor, his wife, and a female student of the professor. They were traveling through Nepal together and asked my mom to join them on this walk.

“It was kind of a weird arrangement,” my mom said of that trio.

The wife is the woman on the left and the student is the one on the right. I guess blue was a popular color in 1965.
