Faces of an election...


Polling has closed at Nepal's second election.  An eventful day.  A woman gave birth at a voting booth, some bombs were seized, some scuffles broke out.  However, all in all, it was largely peaceful. Estimates are of a sixty-five percent voter turn out.  The counting is underway.

Here in Kathmandu it was fascinating.  The sun shone on a historic day in Nepal.  Hopefully I'll have a detailed report with some results within the next day or two.

For now we're off to a little Nepali kitchen for dal bhat, the traditional fare.  Maybe it is the first evening meal in a strong new beginning for Nepal...
