Well hello! These are some pics of the past few days. I don't know what order they will come up in, so I'll just describe them randomly. Part of a sand painting in the Drepung Monestary. Yak butter for sale. A mommy with a baby strapped to her back, that's how they do it here.
 
So tomorrow we start heading southwest towards Nepal. We've got several nights at different towns in Tibet on our way there. It should be a beautiful trip. Today we had a free day and I got a synthetic yak fur wrap that all the nomads wear like a skirt over their pants. It's super warm and very furry. I'm thrilled about it. Anyway, time for bed, sleep well everyone...
