More photos from Bhutan

We visited the Takin preserve near our house in Thimphu today. The Takin is Bhutan's national animal. They are a goat-antelope found in the eastern Himalayas. They live at altitude and some say look like a bee-stung moose, because their faces look swollen.
Catherine with her very first snowball! Caroline with our new helper, Pasang.

We are still 'working' on the gingerbread house.

Very cool. Bhutan looks a lot like Nepal. Though we didn't have takin, we did have lines of prayer flags. Kind of like a used car lot.

Catherine's snowball looks like a little skull.

Take care!

Love,
Joe

Robin and Dave, I enjoy watching and reading about your adventures. Let's have another birthday party so we get to see each other. It is ok for me to ride my bike alongside while you run? The girls look great! are you still using rmartz@umich.edu for an email address? The better one for me is amasella@inspronc.com.
