We visited the Punakha Dzong
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punakha_Dzong which was built at the confluence of the Mother (Mo Chhu) and Father (Po Chhu) Rivers in the early 1600s. This is an awesome palace that holds a palpable level of energy. In centre courtyard is a single, multi century old fig tree that I was drawn to. I drew from my limited Qi Gong training, properly introduced myself and hugged it. My sis would be so proud!
In the afternoon we headed to Thimpu, the new capital city (was Punakha). We went to a textile museum, and an art school centered on traditional pieces. Note the levels of training on the door ways. Complexity and difficulty increases with level.
