It feels great to be home from our five-day road trip East. I had a blast, saw many amazing things, and have the pictures to prove it. Mostly, anyway. One of the most inspiring things I saw was the inside of a temple in the dzong at Punakha (more about what dzongs are in the blogs below). Every inch of this temple was covered in paintings, carvings, fabric, statues, butter lamps, and prayer rugs. I could have stayed for hours in just that one space, but unfortunately the dzong was closing, so we had to scoot.

Can't wait to see the pictures! Had to google "butter lamps"—apparently they traditionally burn clarified yak butter but now it's vegetable based.
