Well, I cannot get into my blog and when I had one of the women who works in this internet/business room in our hotel she translated for me what I had not been able to understand for at least four days. I cannot access my blog sight here in China and I can no longer download photos, either. I don’t know if you can get my blog in the states, but I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what I find out when we get home.
Presently we are in Tibet. We’ve been here for three days and leave tomorrow morning. At that point we will start a river journey and see the huge dam that is being constructed. I have taken over a 1,000 photos at this point and will most likely take at least another 500 or 600 pictures before this trip is over.
The one thing that struck both Steve and I as soon as we got off the airplane was the air. Neither one of us had been in very high altitude before and did not know what to expect. Well, let me tell you we got out of breath walking just several steps. I developed a serious head ache and nose bleed. I was not alone in my suffering, there were at least half of the people on the tour who were just as uncomfortable. Steve was headachy for one day and then he adjusted. The guide took us to a local herbalist store and got us some medicine. And it did the trick, though it still does not take much to make me feel out of breath. I recover quickly and keep up with the rest of the group.
I don’t know when I will next add something to this blog. But if you are able to get my blog and you have the time send me an e-mail. We get yahoo like a dream.
