Lhasa Day 2
We made the rounds today. Visited Potala Palace, highest and largest palace in the world in the morning, then the Bokhur Market, filled with pilgrims circling the city and the Jokhur Temple.. the holiest of holy spots for Tibetan Buddhism. In front there are lines of pilgrims prostrating themselves. Our guide some people do it for days on end.
It’s all very moving. Feeling better in terms of the latitude. Tomorrow we are going to higher lake in the mountains. Too tired to write more.

Hundreds of pilgrims walk loops around Lhasa all day.
The mountains are stunning.

Anyone care to guess her age? Winner gets

58! Mom
Probably 39, or could be 93. Yak Jerky would be mighty fine in the country! Pops
