Photo Journal from Tibet

Here are some pictures from our time in Tibet (beginning of November):


 The crazy moon-like landscape


Being here felt like we'd stepped back in time.  People used horse-drawn wagons to get around and transport goods.  We saw a lot of poverty but were impressed by the beautifully painted wood decorations that could be found on every house, even in the middle of nowhere.

  1. Very nice photos. The outdoor stand is pretty interesting - looked like Chris was sitting at a long dining room table outdoors. The water really is a beautiful turquoise, almost looks fake. So nice for you to see all this beauty. xox Mom
