Tibet at Last!!

Well, we made it to Lhasa, Tibet. It's the main holy city of Tibet.  We ended up flying here, left at 5:30AM and got in about 1pm, had a delayed flight.  The outskirts are pretty run down, and the pollution is horrible.  The taxi driver tried to rip us off, but I argued with him, and came to a compromise.  The air is thin, and Kristin and I are slowly getting acclumated, she's a bit tired from the flight and delays, so she's resting for a bit.  My sinuses are still clogged from Chengdu, horrible pollultion and smog, was hoping it would be a bit better here, it is, but wanted it to be a LOT better  

We plan on seeing some temples tomorrow, and Mt Everest the day after or so.  Not really sure where we are going first, just have to look around.  The important thing is that we ARE IN TIBET, yay.  Very beautiful mountain scapes on the flight here, we got some good pictures that we will upload later.  The computer harddrive crashed, so I have to work on it first.

Oh yea, we are staying at Phuntsok Khasang International Youth Hostel, for now. Sorry the website isn't in English, I will look around for another link.  We may move to a hotel, for english speaking employees and a little bit more secure feeling, but this place is ok for now, I think...

Write more later.
