Going East

For the last two days we have been residing in the most beautiful place i have ever seen. It is a 9 hour roadtrip from the capitol that is so crazy i cant even explain it. For most of the trip our bus is so close to the edge you can literally look out the window and see thousands of feet down to the valley floor. i was so taken back by the beauty that i didn't stop looking out the window for the entire 9 hours. We enjoyed what turned out to be a day off (meaning no games or school visits) by enjoying each others company in the bus, by playing games and listening to music. When we got to our hotel we were amazed by the views we have from our balconies. We can look out over at least five different mountain peaks high up in the Himalayas. We can see many animals from the viewpoint which included my first siting of wild monkeys in my life.Simply stated i will always remember the views from this trip in the beautiful countryside.

At this point of the trip i am really starting to like Bhutanese food and i am eating so much more than i ever thought i would. I love tea time and the fact that i am so out of touch of what i consider regular life. I realized while talking to Pynch today that we are not bombarded at every step of our days with ad's and companies telling us who we are and who we should be, its very refreshing.

Our team has gotten extremely close the last week and i am excited to see how much closer we can get. Numerous times on this trip people of the country have commented on how much we smile and laugh.  They also tell us how nice it is to see a group that loves each other so much (just happened again today while we where speaking in a classroom, a kid stood up and told us how awesome it was to see a group so close and so loving to each other.

Well till nexttime
