For Carlos

For Carlos

Regretting that we couldn’t make Carlos’ memorial mass in Orange County today, we honored Carlos’ life in the Nepali way.  This morning we visited Boudhanath, an important Buddhist stupa in Kathmandu, in memory of Carlos.  Using prayer beads, we walked clockwise around the stupa with Buddhist monks.  We rang the bell at a Hindu temple, and we lit a butter lamp in his honor.

Prayer Flags at Boudhanath.

Angel de mi guarda

Dulce compañia no me desanpares

Ni de noche ni de dia

No me desanpares que me perderia
