Yesterday was the last day of Dashain, the Hindu festival that we seemed to have arrived in the middle of. We've seen many walking the streets, adorned with "tikka" (those red dabs of makeup on the forehead) and some women in fancy silk saris. Many shops have been closed.
Today, and more tomorrow, business will be getting back to normal. Although we thought the streets were only moderately busy, we've been told that will change.
Wednesday is the day that we might get a "city tour" with our Sherpas. Maybe we'll see what "normal" is around here.
