Bhutan group finally takes Bhutan

After 36 hours of travel we finally landed in Bhutan! If you have a couple of minutes, do yourself a favor and look up videos of the fly in to Bhutan. It was absolutely breathtaking and I wish that the pictures on my phone could have done it justice. The descent starts with being able to see the peak of Mt. Everest peeking through the clouds and we continue down through the Himalaya Mountains, close enough where if you were standing on the wing you would think you could touch the sides of the mountain.  we land in a small valley and we get off the plane to be greeted by lush mountains and a small, picture perfect airport

Well, it wouldn't be the Bhutan Group if there wasn't a small snag to delay us from our adventure. While checking our passports, Tracy (yes, President Fitzsimmons, Tracy) has a passport that does not match the number we registered with. In between the time we applied for visas in Bhutan and actually arriving here she had to get a new passport and the number was changed on all the forms but this one. Or so she says, really I think she is in cahoots with doubt agent Ryan. After some time she was able to cross over and enter the country, on the condition that they hold her passport.  
The city of Thimpu is about an hour from the airport and we make our way on the only highway in the country. Although I use that term loosely, because it was a simple two lane road carved out along the mountainside. It's such a stark contrast from America, where we cut through nature to save a couple minutes off of our commute.
