Reparing your own things in the spirit of cycle touring
Cost to have one boot zipper replaced? €35! If you have already decided to travel slowly, you might just continue doing everything slowly. Photos of stitching a new zipper into Alma’s boots with a handmade travel awl (a gift from the polymath Zeke Lunder).

Boudhanath
Is the buddhist district in Kathmandu, Nepal. After the Chinese invasion to Tibet in 1959, many Tibetan masters came to live and built their monasteries here.
Practitioners from all the world come here to practice meditation, study and debate complex philosophical texts and to receive the guidance and advice from living masters.
Our teacher Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is the abbot of the White Monastery, which is also a university for westerners. Alma works for this institution, translating a study program into spanish.
Sechen Monastery is also nearby and is the home of renowned french scientist, monk and writer, Matthieu Ricard.
We are lucky to be in this place where thousands of people come to practice compassion, generosity, patience, discipline, concentration and wisdom.
