Hey everyone, I've got some new photos to share with you courtesy of Tyler Sit, and I'm pretty excited for you all to see some of the things I haven't been able to describe yet.

This is us having class on the roof on a sunny day. We saw those mountains every day, no big deal.

These are the puppies that I've mentioned a couple times. I've been told they're really cute but I haven't quite made up my mind yet.

This is our group making momos, the Tibetan version of dumplings.

These next few photos are from when we visited the Norbulinka, a place that works to preserve Tibetan arts and employ Tibetan artists and sell spectacularly expensive things to Westerners. We got to visit a lot of the workshops, and it was amazing.

These are stupas, they are everywhere and they are stupendous.

This is a monkey in its peaceful, safe-distance state. Weaving through paths covered with dozens of these buggers is less tranquil than this photo suggests.

And the rest of these photos go with the blog posts for this week and next week, to give you an idea of where we were hiking and how spectacular some of the temples were in ways that I was not able to capture.
