Black Eyes - Lamjung District, Nepal

The trek to Barbot was challenging, but well worth the hours it took to climb to this mountain village.  This village didn't get many tourists, therefore I was very popular when I arrived with my camera.  Everyone wanted their photo taken, I was bombarded at times with photo requests. They would laugh in glee when I would show them the photo on the screen as if it were magic. As we would walk around it was as if I were the ice cream truck, everyone would come running. Kids would yell at their parents and soon everyone would come out and take a look at me.
