After we Landed

Though this confuses the order of these posts, I am adding here the first email I sent out soon after we arrived in Bhutan:

Hi all,

This is coming from our lovely house in Paro, Bhutan, where we have been for 4 days now! Still a bit jet lagged and waking up at 3 in the morning, but getting grounded and excited about classes starting next week.

Our house is across the road from the Paro dzong, an incredible structure and one of Bhutan's more well-known sights. There are dzongs throughout the country, built many years ago as fortifications to house local leaders and monks, and many of them, including the Paro dzong, are still used that way. We can see it from our house, especially when it is lit up at night, and it's a great landmark to help us find our way home.

We are working on wrapping our heads around language, food, left-handed driving, and so much more. On our second day here we went to the student Foundation Day festival at the Law School, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the school's founding. The students are creative, enthusiastic, immensely welcoming, and very happy we are here. So are we!

Stay in touch, either email or WhatsApp, and let us know what's happening in your part of the planet. Our wifi is a bit hinky at times but we are figuring out all our options for staying connected!

be well,

Dori
