Monday, September 21
This is our last day in Thimphu. Early tomorrow morning we drive to Paro to climb to the Tiger's Nest monastery, have a farewell meal, and prepare to fly on Wednesday morning to Delhi.. We spent much of today visiting arts and culture institutions: the superb Textile Museum, the National Library, and a private art school for underprivileged teens. We finished with a tasty dinner at a Korean restaurant. A good day.
