Walking around outside the Forbidden City, I came upon this sweet mom and daughter. We couldn’t communicate with anything other than smiles and hand signals, but we had a great time.

The barren landscape, the altitude, the constant struggle between the Tibetans and the Chinese. It’s all very interesting. The Potala Palace is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out.

This photo taken in one of the houses in Herculaeum shows how intact some of the tiles and rooms are. It’s pretty amazing. I think it’s one of the most interesting World Heritage Sites that I’ve ever been to. |
