Charly and I are adjusting well to our new home in Mongar, Bhutan. There are moments of frustration when things at school or at home don't happen when they are scheduled. Slowly we are getting into the Bhutanese mind-set of "if it happens, it happens.......if it doesn't, keep smiling anyway." Here are a few pictures from school and from walks around town.
I am not going to compete with my two BCF friends further east whom I have now dubbed "blogging queens," (Kendra & Vicki /amazing pictures). I have been waiting for some big event to share, but the day to day happenings and pictures are actually a more accurate snap shot of life in Mongar. I wanted to share a short video of Charly playing with our two year old neighbor Ishey, but it is just too much for our broadband connection to handle. I will settle for photos.
I gave a power point presentation of the water cycle for International World Water Day / March 22 |
How's this for a great swing? |

This is an eight grade class I taught 6 trait writing skills to. They were wonderful and fun! |
