Paro, Bhutan

 
Landing in Bhutan was exhilarating...  Tears came along with the rest of the passengers as they amassed on the tarmac, seemingly in a trance.

Paro's terminal

First stroll with guide, Tashi, above the Ta Dzong.

Along our simple road hike above Paro we encountered school students. Some young boys were singing and playing their guitar while strolling uphill.  We asked if they could sing us a song and they just giggled and shyed away.  So, Jeanne proceeded to perform a rounding version of Petula Clark's DOWNTOWN, much to their entertainment and Tashi's delight.  Tashi pulled out his phone and started filming all the while laughing with us in glee!  Not to be outdone, I laid into a chorus of Elvis Presely's HOUND DOG.  Such a simple, spontaneous and joyful treasure.  :)

Young school girls now wandered up the path giggling the whole way trying to balance their backpacks on a long stick laying across their shoulders.  The untethered happiness was infectious.

Dinner then breakfast, soon to be off to Bhumthang.
