Zeke has a bad hair day. But Gus still thinks he's good to look at. The boys attract a crowd in Kathmandu's Durbur Square. One of their fans.
Making offerings. Tending the shrine. Making offering plates. In the monestary.
Mother and child. Stringing beads on the streets. Watching the world go by. Big smiles for the boys.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Some are awed by the boys. Weathered woman. The boys at Bodah.
Young girls look on. Younger ones tend to still younger. Gus gets rocked. Old woman stops for a smoke and a stare.
Dining al fresco at the Yak and Yeti. Zeke looks cute. They sure wish they were taller. Zeke ponders his next move.
At lunch with Srijana. Srijana, Zeke, Gus and Gita. Zeke spaces out. And stands up.
And does his best Mick Jagger impression. Crowds in Baktipur. Goat sacrifices in Baktipur. Cooking the entrails.
Hair braiding. Performing rituals for the dead. Nepalese knitting circle. More interest in the boys.
"May I eat your passport please." Bhutanese archers dance to celebrate a hit. Young girls walking home from school. Me and the boys behind the Thimphu Dzong.
Table for two. "Big hitter the lama." Crowds at the Thimphu outdoor stage. Monks waiting for the show to start.
Excited to see the show. Zeke bundled up. Young monks at the lahkang. Those are some big prayer wheels.
Hamming it up. Checking the warp. Rolling up the loom. Three generations watch the boys.
Playing carom in Thimphu. Back with the archers. Cheerleaders raz the other team's bowmen. Watching the shot.
I wasn't the only male caregiver there. "Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it...." Ears of a monk. Here's his face too.
Stopping for a sip on the way to Chimi Lahkang. Zeke goes for a crawl. Kelzang and Gus. The boys make their obescience.
Chimi Lahkang. Having a picnic. Making friends. Prayer flags on a mountain pass.
A forest of them. Me and the boys at Bangkok's Temple of the Dawn. Zeke and a temple guardian.
