Dear Family and Friends,

I'm in Lhasa now.

(Yes, I arrived by train! No, no difficulties with high altitude except a little insomnia, my usual.)

I have so much to tell and am so short of sleep, and I am leaving for Mt. Kailash tomorrow morning!! I'll be in Western Tibet until October 1.

I am behind on my posts (apologies). Though I am not posting frequently, I am writing, so when I transcribe to the internet, I hope to convey the feelings and flavor of my experiences for you.

Til the next post ... wish me luck on the kora (it's going to be tough)!
