It was Rachel’s favorite country in Asia (so far).
It was my “Switzerland of Asia.” Mountainous, peaceful, with clean air and kind people, keeping separated from the hustle-and-bustle of the continent.
I remember…
- Big mountains.
- Beautiful buildings.
- Kind people everywhere.
- Clean air.
- River rafting, and how Rachel had such a good time. And I thought she didn’t like boats!
- Our very kind and very Buddhist guide Namgay, who had such a subtle way of telling us what to do.
- A delicious home cooked meal at the farm house in Paro, and how our host made chile-cheese in front of us.
- Red chiles drying on the roofs of steel-topped farm houses everywhere.
And…
- Our amazing upgraded hotel room – double suites! – at the Zhiwaling hotel.
- Being in the rice fields, and talking to a kind 17 year old young woman, who told me her story.
- Trekking for 4 days with Anika
