Photo essay



Dr. Tashi Tobgay, a neurosurgeon recently returned from relief work in Nepal, came to my talk on Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, and earned a pink ribbon medal to add to his collection.

The new digs, an apartment know as International House, which I share with my roomie, pediatrician Jenna Holmen.

Neighbor on a hot tin roof.

Game of darts, near the trailhead to Tango Goempa

Shortcut to the Goempa, up the rails where construction materials are being hauled to reconstruct the monestery for the first time in over 300 years.   It got a bit sketchy half way up, but I wasn't about to walk back down.

Monks at the top.  Some will meditate alone for three years.

Nice little bridge at the start of the hike to Cheri Goempa.

Picnic with Tashi--he brought rice and chilis for two, and I shared my PB&J.

Nerve center of our litle apartment.

Kids getting dropped off for school at Etho Metho.

Crossing guard--a very good idea.

A talk for the interns.

My faithful crew of hardworking and sincere interns.
