Off to Bhutan and India!


Off to Bhutan and India!


We know it has been a long time, far too long since our last blog, but we are back and excited to share our upcoming adventure.  We are leaving in less than a week to travel to Bhutan and India.  We connected with a few individuals from Bhutan last April at an Earth Day event.  
Flash forward nearly a year later, and we are just about ready to head out on the trip.  

Our journey will start with a couple of days in Delhi, India where we will be staying with Katie's friend Christy and her fiance Amrish.  We are fortunate not only to have time to catch up with Christy, but we also found out our friend and host sister from our time living in Argentina will be there at the same time.  We are only in Delhi for a couple of days on the front end of the trip, but we are looking forward to time with all of them.

After we settle into Delhi, we will be taking off for Paro, Bhutan.  We are both looking forward to reconnecting with the individuals we met last year, and meeting new people as we travel throughout the country.  Bhutan currently exports a substantial amount of their hydro power to India, and as a result they are looking to build additional infrastructure (schools, roads, etc.) with the revenue from India.  We are excited to learn more about this, as we have been reading about the culture and history over the last few months.

We will spend a couple of weeks in Bhutan before we return to Delhi to spend our last few days abroad with  Christy and Amrish.  After that we will return home and will look forward to catching up with all of you.

Our goal is to continue to keep the blog updated during our journey in both Bhutan and India once we arrive.  Now all we have to do is continue trying to get all of those little travel items into our carry-on bags before we leave:)

We hope all is well you! 
Willie and Katie
