Last day in Chengdu/Tibet My last day in Chengdu was incredible. We went to visit the Giant Buddha in Leshan. On the way to the giant Buddha we stopped at a place that sold tea, tea cakes, all kind of things related to tea. It was located in the middle of a huge area of tea farms. It was about a 2 hour drive from our hotel to Leshan, but it was an interesting trip. The tea farms were beautiful, and the countryside was so different from America. Once we arrived at the Giant Buddha we took a ri...

Tibet is absolutely beautiful. I can't begin to explain the things I saw today. First thing today, after a not so great night's sleep, Christie and I woke up and headed down to breakfast. It was so delicious...they had Chick-fil-a fries...waffle fries this morning = amazing. After breakfast, I had a little bit of time before we were heading out for the day, so I updated my blog, and got my things ready for the day. We met in the lobby about 9:30, because the sun doesn't really start to come u...

Today was another beautiful day in Tibet. I slept much better last night, and was excited to start my day today. We went to the Summer Palace this morning. It was built by the 7th Dalai Lama, as he traveled there in order to preserve his health. The palace was built in the 18th century, and while some of it was destroyed in 1959 and also the cultural revolution, much of the original structure stands today. After touring this palace we went inside of the 14th Dalai Lama's Palace. It was comple...

The morning started with a tour of Xi'an's old city wall, which is 3 miles wide and 4 miles long and the top could carry 10 horses across easily. It also has a mote. Inside the walls is the main shopping district and many old houses and street, would have loved to have more time to investigate. On the top of the wall you can get a rickshow ride, or walk or ride a bike the 14 miles around, it would be fun. But being on a tour we didn't have time, we had to catch the plane to Lhasa.
The who...
After a 10 am pick up we were off to the Dali Lama's Summer Palace it was where he left from in 1959 in forced exile.
We saw his bedroom, sitting room and all other rooms in the building. As we were looking around building Tibetans were coming in and laying prayer scaves and money on podiums. Monks were chanting and praying for people. We saw two young women give the Monk a scafe, money and a page of writing. The Monk took the page and read it, he then started to pray for what ever they ne...
Today started out with some aweful news, one of our group was not on the bus at the allotted time, and when Annie, our tour guild went to check she had to get the security to open the lock. They found Jose dead on the floor. Jose is a spanish man from the Broncs in New York and was only 64. He had a big climb yesterday at the Potala Palace and looked fit and well afterwards. Michael walk part way down with him chatting and he seemed just fine. After he was taken to hospital they said he had a...

... the most holy, untranslateable, bits). It was also mesmerising to observe some of the monks ritually contorting their hands into shapes and figures as they sang and mumbled the words of the scriptures. After a brief lunch stop in the farming town of Lhatse we entered the Everest region. Our aim was to visit the world's largest mountain from the Tibetan side where the base camp is accessible by dirt road rather than the 2-week overpopulated "trecker's highway" on ...

... dans la vallee : une seule route le traverse et descend la vallee. Melange de populations chinoise, tibetaine, nepalaise, et occidentale (touristes!). 2 octobre au matin, passage de la frontiere. Comme la veille : routes toujours en reparation a cause des glissements de terrain, tibetains au travail tout le long. Passage perilleux. Nous arrivons enfin a Kathmondou dans l'aprem, decalage horaire : -1h45.

... Only now, at the end, did the other journey begin. In those ancient times, the Dane and I had ridden into the mountains, up past a lake, to the high summer pastures where the nomads lived. My horse was called Slowpoke, and hers ******. That is the August I will be thinking about as you shovel me into my grave. It was another year now, another life, and not even August any longer. Seven weeks on the road, we packed light and went on foot into the long, spearing range of the Tian Shan that ...

Turn dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and let it sit for ten minutes. Then, knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes. 4. Let rise in a greased bowl for about an hour (it should double in size). Punch down the dough. Let it rise again for 30 to 45 minutes. Divide into two equal parts and ...
