My last evening in Paro was quiet. I was able to get my last taste of Bhutan Momo.
It was a difficult sleep knowing I was off again to India. I was ready to leave Bhutan. Although wonderful and worth the cost, I think I saw everything that there was to see. Tourism definitely is thriving and I am sure that in a few years, it will be overwhelming. Currently they control it with only one flight per day.
Once again the flight was over the Himalayan Mountains and we could see Anapurna. I really do not have any expectations for Delhi. I didn't read or surf the internet, so I am going in blind. My guide, Malagar, met me at the airport and we started our sightseeing.
I am amazed at the metropolitan city and gardens surrounding the ancient buildings. It is beautiful and clean. Much different than the stories I hear of India. I guess I am in the Capitol. so should have expected it to be really nice. We visited the President's palace and the large and beautiful government buildings.
I already started shopping and found a beautiful rug. I had to use the restroom and Malagar stopped at a great rug shop. The prices are fantastic so I will probably buy it. It doesn't take much for me to shop.
I had my first dinner and definitely overbought and overate. The three types of chicken were so delicious. No alcohol??? Apparently not all restaurants serve alcohol. Malagar is taking me to all the local places. He is great. Thanks Veronica for the recommendation.
It is morning and I have a complete day of sightseeing before going to the airport. It is definitely on the warm side. I have very few summer clothes and NO clean clothes.
Hopefully they will have internet at the airport and I can give you an update of my day.
Namaste, Paula

About Me
- Paula Unplugged after 60
- I was the middle child of first born American parents of Italian descent. As expected in my generation, I married at 19 and had two children by the age of 23. I guess you can say I grew about with my children (as they remind me on a continual basis). I start college when we moved to Ca.. I received a BA and MSA and started my 29 year career in technology. My first job was with Hewlett Packard and from there I had numerous positions in technology companies until I co-founded my first company in 1996. Along the way I divorced, remarried, and became a grandmother (which is the real joy in my life, since I get to make up for all the wrongs I did as a young mother). As you can see my life was simple, non adventurous and I was always looking for adventure. After 60 I told myself that the second half of my life would be filled with adventure. Knowing that I am on a tight budget, I had to look at how I could fulfill my lifetime dream in a new and different way. I did not want to be saddled with rules and norms. This brings me to Paula Unplugged After 60.
