More Tibet images

In viewing order, here are more pictures from Tibet:

1) All in, we spent nearly 36 hours on airplanes at 35,000 feet. Molly spent 5 minutes on this yak in the Khampala Pass at 20,000 feet. Behind her you can see Yamdruk Tso (lake), one of Tibet's largest and holiest lakes.

2) Our guide Tsering and his family on our last morning in Lhasa. Kindergarten-aged girls are the same the world over - shy at first, then giggly, then wanting to come with us to California!

3) David standing in front of the Strong Buddha painted on a mountainside in the 11th century. This is on the road from the Lhasa airport to the city.

4) Memorial stupa at the Shigatze Monastery. (Shigatze is 250 km southest of Lhasa). A stupa is usually a small, closed structure not built for entrance - sometimes built as a tomb or as an offering to Buddha. This is the biggest stupa in the world, with multiple doors and several stories high.
