Punakha or bust!

Taking our time to dodge the potholes, we stumbled upon an indigenous nomad.  He was kind of heart and full of a toothless grin.  He even invited us to his 'place' to join him in his home made moonshine!  What an experience THAT would've been!

We made a short 'pit stop' at a lovely spot tucked into the highway and hanging onto the side of a mountain.  Clean, colorful and friendly.  I bought a globule there.  I still have yet to experience it.  It's a small ball about the size of a pea, reddish in color and composed of ash, herbs and the blood of a highly spiritual 'one'.  I'm not sure what it's suppose to do, but apparently, it's practiced and appreciated.  I'll do a bit more research on this one before I ingest!
