Let me introduce Palden, my guide, and Numguy, my driver. They are wonderful and I am confident I will see everything there is to see in Bhutan.

Yesterday was a terrific day. We were able to see most of Thimbu, the capitol of Bhutan. It is amazing how small it is. I am not sure of the exact population but it must be very small.

Everything is so clean in Bhutan compared to Nepal. Apparently the entire population of Bhutan is Buddhist and is governed by a President and King. A few years ago Bhutan became a democratic society based on the King wanting what is best for the people. They truly practice the Buddha Way.

Note:

I put a number of pictures on facebook of Nepal, including:

The Kopan Monastery

The Orphanage

My place at Tara's

And more

Hope you enjoy them.

Namaste, Paula
