First off, not much asphalt in Bhutan and everywhere you look it's countryside and gorgeous! People are friendly, buildings are all similar styling, decorated with paintings on the outside, and prices are cheap. When we arrived at our hotel we were given a couple of hours before lunch to relax. Jaye and Jane took a rest but the boys took off on a walk around town. Got together for lunch (which was delicious) then headed out for some sightseeing and hiking. We're convinced it was a "test" of our ability to hike the hills in the high altitude...we all passed with flying colors!
I'll stop typing and attach a few photos. Add more later. Roger

Hey Guys/Gals/Ponies, glad to see that you've arrived safely. Bhutan looks awesome, but chilly ! Enjoy your stay & keep us posted. Thanks again, the Avalon crew :-)
My email told me that "GC" had posted a blog update. I wasn't sure why an STI (GC is the short term for gonorrhea) was posting a blog, when I realized that it could stand for either Gary or Gerry...coincidence? correlation? causation? You be the judge. Of course, when I noticed that the update contained full sentences rather than grunts, I thought Jane had posted something. Alas, Roger is the author. Bit disappointing, was looking forward to what gonorrhea had to say...the stories it could tell!
Have just worked the last 15hrs straight. Hoping the phone will stay quiet for the rest of the night!

Looks like you're having a great time. Jane, is the Most Fabulous Jacket keeping you warm?!
Hey Gaz, is the bestest sweatshirt in the world keeping you warm ? Lookin' good in Bhtutanese surroundings - the lot of ya !
Does NASA stand for Need Another Sexual Act ....?
Wishn' we were there - Mark n Sue :-)
Hey Sarah, The Most Fabulous Jacket is indeed fabulous..keeping me warm and dry
Sorry to disappoint, Sarah...can't speak for gonorrhea - a particularly unpredictable voice all its own I'm sure. Now, if you're looking for the voice of syphillis, I think I can translate (or not, but I could fake it : ) BTW - stand by...Gerry's been identifying one project after another for Sarah regarding photo presentations and compilations...fair warning!
photo compilations are easy. Make sure Gerry and Jane have a copy of all photos on a jump drive and I can put it together. It's also easier if you have an idea of some music that might work (If you don't give me the music, I will the photos to a Yanni CD). Fair warning!
Gerry is such an ideas man........
His idea is for someone else to do all the work !!!! LMAO
Mark, do be kind. I have squatted in Jane and Gerry's house for CONSIDERABLE time in 2010. Gerry tells me that I only have 300 more hours of hard labour until I've paid off my debt!
PS -- Mark, you're just bitter that you didn't think to put me to work while you had the chance!
"bitter ...........? "...............AND twisted !!!
You guys have a great trip. I am so proud of you Roger...it was only a few years ago that you were eating burgers and fries to the thought of having a dish of something that couldn't be recognized...you are the goods. Jaye, keep an eye open for him. Thanks guys for keeping me in the loop. Wished I was there. Marathon in Italy in 4 sleeps...wahoo.
Hey buddy! In Borneo now....fries with that? YES!!! : )
