May 1st

Yesterday, the Prime Minister of Nepal was to resign, as the Maoist Party want him to since they see him as having done very little for the country in four years. Since he did not resign, there are protests and demonstrations. This morning the protests began a little earlier than 6:0 a.m. first day -- all the stores are closed in Kathmandu. So, we are advised to stay off the streets for today. This is somewhat of a problem in terms of shopping, eating in restaurants, etc. But, our hotel is beautiful, good service, good internet, so we are blessed -- and we have a tv.
