Bhutan 2008 photo page

When I first return from a trip abroad, it is often difficult to describe all that I have seen and heard and felt. As I begin to review my pictures they begin to provide the vocabulary to express the many things I experienced.
April 27, 2008

This page is dedicated to the remarkable people of Bhutan with sincere thanks for their sometimes inadvertent, but more frequently, willing help in documenting our diverse experiences in Bhutan.
