Lots of sightseeing, including the Memorial Chorten, a big stupa with lots of monks chanting and playing music, the National Library, Textile Museum, Arts and Crafts School, traditional hospital where Maggi proceeded to ask about cures for constipation in infinite detail, and the Takin reserve. The Takin is a weird creature unique to Bhutan that is half goat, half deer.

In the evening we also visited the Tashichhodzong, which is the main administration for Bhutan and where the King also works during the day. It has beautiful architecture and a working monastery as well.
