It didn't take Andy long to get into the swing of things and tie a fairly mean turban. His sister is getting married in a couple of weeks and maybe he'll try to outshine the mother-of-the-bride in headgear.
He brought home some wonderful fabrics and I've been busy making a dress from one of them for Christy to wear to a wedding on September 3.
Andy was fascinated by the people of Bhutan - they are very gentle and friendly. We wonder where the tartan patterns come from - was there scottish influence at some point? All the school uniforms are tartan as well as many of the skirts worn by adults.
Quite a few nights on the treks were spent under canvas. Fortunately they had a good back up team who erected all the tents. It still meant some challenging experiences especially since 2 of their group were wheelchair bound.
No visit to India would be complete without a visit to the Taj Mahal. Andy was disappointed that there was no water in the pool - he couldn't get any of those reflection photos.
It was a wonderful experience for all those who took part - the young people and their leaders. Andy has been asked to accompany their next trip in 2 years time to Namibia - he said 'Yes' without hesitation.
