As mid-term exams progressed, there were fewer and fewer students, until finally only classes 7 and 8 were around. Therefore the "big kids" managed to play on the equipment designated for the smaller children. I kept saying to them, "big students gone mad!!!!"
This is Jakar Dzong in Bumthang, where I spent my summer vacation (all 2 weeks of it!!!)
These are pics of the Bumthang Valley. It is one of 2 glacial valleys in Bhutan. The other valley is Pobjikha where the Black Neck Cranes hangout.
The next pics are at Kurjey Lhakhang. It is a very sacred spot in Bhutan. The first religious leader of the area was Guru Rimpoche. He, of course, had special powers. At Kurjey, it is said that he meditated in a cave. His meditation skills were so advanced that he was able to leave his shadow on the wall of the cave, which can still be seen today. Therefore, the word Kurjey literally means body print.
Entrace to the Royal Palace in Bumthang. Needless to say, I was not invited.
Great pictures Sue Now I want to go to Bumthang even more
ReplyDeleteLove the pics. Looks beautiful. When our students complain about tucking in their shirts I'm going to show them the photos of your students.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or do they look really happy? But it's good to see that you're all having fun. I loved the part where you said, "big students gone wild." If you could go inside the Royal Palace, you might've been able to get some pictures. Too bad you were not invited.
