Paro with Rob

Rob arrived safe and sound, we traveled to Thimphu to get his travel permits, and went back to Paro to stay at the now famous Gangtey Palace.  For me it is famous because I seem to go there so often.  

Today is the date that Guru Rinpoche's birthday is celebrated and we went to Takseng.  We weree advised to go early, so left the hotel by 5:10 am and were hiking by 5:40.  We really beat the crowds and had the altar rooms virtually to ourselves.  Many people were on the trail while we were going down. 

We then cam back to Chukha and I get the sense that both the roads and my living quarters are beyond what Rob could have imagined.
