Boomer here. I have not blogged since the first day we got here, so I figured it was time. This trip has been pretty awesome, have had some amazing experiences with the fellas. Really proud of all the guys for their attitudes and the way they have shared what we are about. If you are a parent, relative, friend or girlfriend of one of our guys, you should be very proud. In all aspects.
The Bhutanese people are beautiful, kind, and have a strong desire to learn the game of basketball. It's been fun teaching them and watching our Vanguard guys use their talents to communicate and teach the BT youth.
After tonight, we have one full day in Bhutan left. Today we hiked to Tiger's Nest - google that when you get a chance. It was a really tough hike, but well worth it. Something all of us won't forget.
Quick story to end it: Since the first day of our trip, I have been introducing myself to classrooms and basketball players as "Coach Boom". A lot of them giggled or smiled, which I thought was a product of my incredibly terrific humor or the attractiveness of my teammates. Not the case! "Boom" definitely means "girl" in Dzonka, the national language. Wonderful. I am affectionately known as Coach Girl to the BT youth.
Can't leave a blog without givin a shutout to my lady...pumped to see you on Monday. Don't worry about dinner that night---I got this. Cereal or pb&j's (sounds AMAZING). Your choice.
Much love to all of you who have supported us.
