Friday 30 Sept - Bhutan

We did get to Bhutan yesterday. It's an amazing place. We were on the go once we landed so while I have pictures, did not get the pics out of the camera last night. Michael is under the weather again, but I am hoping he feels better today. If not we are going to have to seriously consider ending the trip here. After today we head east and getting back to the airport is a problem.

This is a dzhong or monastery. The suspension bridge was built severla hundred years ago and is secured by iron chains secured through the buildings at each end.

Chilis are an important part of the cuisine in this part of Bhutan. Farmers grow their own and dry them on the roof. 

 These boys were on their way home from school and were happy to clown for the camera.

These girls are nuns. We visited their nunnery late in the afternoon when they were washing up. Most of them were also happy to clown for the camera. They start their training at about age 5-6.
