Spectacular! Vickie shared this…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taktsang Dzong or Paro Taktsang (spa phro stag tshang / spa gro stag tshang), also known as Taktsang Monastery or the The Tiger’s Nest, is a prominent Tibetan Buddhist monastery of theNyingma (Red Hat Sect), located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley, Bhutan. It was built in 1692, around the Taktsang Senge Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three months in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan and is the tutelary deity of the country. Today, Paro Taktsang is the best known of the thirteen taktsang or “tiger lair” caves in which he meditated.

You are in your hotel room settling down for the day with a bottle of wine and remember that the airport security confiscated your corkscrew. What do you do now?

So, here’s one of the things I don’t like about WordPress…the inability to include photos in comments. Given Melissa’s enthusiasm regarding Kathy’s own teardrop trailer, a photo of said trailer needed to be with this thread. Hence, the update! And I can just imagine what Melissa would do with that trailer! Agility trials! It would be perfect!!!!

Melissa, this is our 50’s trailer and it needs a lot of TLC! But everything inside is original and working and it doesn’t leak.

I am so glad Kathy shared this! Rick showed me an article a few weeks back and, for the life of me, I couldn’t find it again. Or remember what they called themselves. Thanks Kathy!

Such a fun book! These ladies all fly fish and pull self-decorated trailers to campsites across the US. So how about the Lhasa Apso Ladies plan a rendezvous someday. We have a ’50’s, beat-up, teardrop trailer that sure could use some TLC…and something sturdy on 4 wheels to steady it over mountain passes! Can you think of decorating themes for the trailer interiors? And a great group name? Fur on the Fly? Laughing Lion Dog Ladies?
