Bhutan Medicine There is a great Bhutan medicine program at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival that ends Sunday. Don't think you pulled a travel excuse for Himalayans mountains yet, so Bhutan looks like a good place as any. Anyhow, Smithsonian Folk Festival Volunteers get to spend a day working with the Bhutan non-Western medicine doctors - very interesting people who also talk about food and other life issues. The Festival Volunteer coordinator said the slots are full this year, but she can fit you in as extra volunteer to help in Bhutan medicine on Saturday or Sunday if you wish. However, I did not ask if the Texas wine need helpers - the growers seem to like representing themselves.

Wish I was there... Wow...Ryan and Mindy, it looks like you are really learning the lay of the land and seeing it as villagers versus tourists!! Mindy, sorry to hear you aren't feeling good. Ryan, how are your fantasy teams doing? Thinking of you guys alot. Tim Russert died...very upsetting for me. Buffalo born and bred and a top journalist!! Thanks for the pics and entries...keep them coming!! Can't wait to see you July 4th!! Love, Sal
hey Hi guys, Sounds like your having quite an adventure! And yes it is true, I bought Sommer a puppy for her birthday (Sox). Keep having fun and enjoy your trip!!!
Watched your islands on Nat-Geo last night before I got to see the blog for the first time today.
Nittany enjoys the air-conditioning back here, but we can't image her running after any wild horses.
Glad to hear from you Look for addition to blogs every day and hadn't heard from you so was worried. Sounds like a terrific adventure. Thnaks for lettting me go along. Saw on TV 4 volcano strips in ocean from there. Must have been the ones you saw. Keep it coming. Love it and you both! Gr-Gr
hi guys.... hope your island hopping was great....are you both up for a DC tour on Sat July 5th when you get back? I have to buy tickets early. All's well here....hot, hot, hot!
Unbelieveable! Dear Mindy and Ry, Can't believe what I am seeing. Thanks so much for sending so much info and am looking forward to photos. If not now in July. Whoever is writing is doing GREAT!

sounds like you are having a riot! Hey Ryan and Mindy,
What an experience! SOunds like everything you wanted and more....keep the great updates coming.
You'll have a great experience! Hi Ryan. I hope you remember me. I was your mother's roommate at Geneseo. I was in the Galapagos Islands a number of years ago. Definitely go to as many of the islands as you can and do some snorkeling. The water was the coldest I've ever been in, and I've traveled a lot, but you get used to it and the sights are fantastic! I'm glad your mother let me know about your blog. Have fun! Pat
Keep the prose coming..... Mindy...
You have a way of writing that
a. paints a wonderful picture of what you are experiencing and
b. makes one wish they were experiencing it too.....
keep it flowing, girl!
Hope your have a grand time So sweet of you to create this travel log. I hope you're having a great time. I will visit it often. Your Dad did not tell me how long you were gone for and what you will be doing upon your return. Let me know and I hope to see you next time you're in No. VA.
Love Aunt Sandy
