After a holiday in India we drove to Delhi airport for our flight to Nepal. While waiting at check-in, we got talking to an American violinist. His name is Jack Glatzer, and he now lives in Portugal, where he teaches. His is going to Kathmandu to give a couple of concerts, sponsored by the American Embassy. He invited us to one of his concerts, we said we would love to go, he will get the tickets to us at our hotel. The views as we flew into Kathmandu were lovely - the late evening sun low across the Himalayan mountains, shining on the big, fluffy clouds, made our entry into Nepal very memorable. The first thing that hit me as soon as we got out of the aircraft was the clean, fresh smell of the mountains. After India it was a real breath of fresh air. I noticed, on the side of our plane was the word 'Yeti'. I asked if I could photograph it. I got permission with a smile.
 The logo on our plane In the airport building we are greeted with smiles all round. The man checking our passport said to me "You remember the war?". I told him I was too little then. He then saw Ralph's date of birth and said "YOU remember big war!?" Ralph said that he did, and all was big smiles. "You come from England - very good place." We felt really welcome.
