Am working on getting a small flash or some other pop-up slideshow to show various aspects of our trip recently to Bhutan. The first is of an archery championship; archery is the national sport of Bhutan and nearly everywhere one travels in the remarkable country, there is a range for ‘playing archery,’ as i am fond of saying. Whether they are using traditional bows made of bamboo or professional compound bows, these guys can shoot.

The other show, once i can get other coding issues figured out, will be posted in the gallery section of the site and will feature general travel photography of Bhutan. We got back a week ago from the 10 day trip, and i must confess that i’m still decompressing a bit; it was truly an amazing experience. There will be more details about this trip - from trekking for 2 days over a 10,000′ pass in the rain while being covered in leeches, to being bit by a stray dog to meeting the Queen of Bhutan. All memorable events and no regrets.
