Feeling Capital in the Capital

Finally, I am all better! I was very pleased to complete my recuperation in Thimphu at the peaceful home of the BCF's executive director Nancy. Between visits to the National Referral Hospital that culminated in a not-at-all-terrible diagnosis, I read, relaxed, and stocked up for my return to teaching.

Here are three things that made me smile in the big city:
1. Pizza! I had a lovely meal at The Zone today with fellow BCF teachers Sue and Matt:


2. Trinkets that I did not expect to see for sale so far from Canada:


3. The Swiss Clock tower, my favourite haunt from Orientation Week, which I revisited on a walkabout with my new friend Kat:


I feel energetic enough to get back to my students, just in time for the big midterm test. Home Sweet Trashiyangtse, here I come!

    So relieved you are feeling better--but don't overdo it and relapse. Don't fret over missed teaching---remember the calm peace of the country you are in. Happy travelling and regaining of strength and health. Love, Mom & Dad

    To Maggie and Germaine and others anxious to hear more on this blog--Unfortunately Kendra's computer is broken, and it is a difficult thing to replace. She's trying.
