One more contact from me in Saga

Now in Saga, elevation 4,290m, a slightly larger town (with internet!) after a very rough and dusty jeep ride through unpaved terrain and over a pass of 4,890m (!!) with river crossings and construction delays and much more -- a stunning sunrise, an open sky, that quality of light that I have seen only in these high altitudes! Though I should be sleeping not writing, I think it's better if I try to keep my blog current with my actual trip. So I wrote about Lhasa for you. Pictures later (I promise).
