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.

Hi Charly and Julie,
ReplyDeleteKim Stafford came by yesterday and said he had just missed you. He was there for two weeks, teaching...poetry? He said Charly's messages gave him a real boost and brought back floods of memories.
Your pictures are great and I hope you keep them coming. It's so good that you are in a place where what really matters takes precedence!
You chose well...we have unending rain here and fallout concerns from Japan. Otherwise we are all well.
Love, Joann and Stuart
