When I was a child, my happiness was “looked after.” My wish for Christmas is that all childrens’s happiness be “looked after” this year and for years to come.

As you may know, we just returned from a couple of weeks vacation in the Himilayas. It was a wonderful, insightful trip to one of the worlds most interesting places. We started with a couple of days in Bangkok (see above and here) and ended with 10 days in Bhutan (see below and here).  I’m not going to repeat a lot of the story here, just go to the photo galleries for the rest of the story.
