Lhasa

This is the Potala palace, the home for many of the Dalai Lamas. It's massive and really beautiful. Approaching the palace we noticed lots of Tibetan people walking around it. Many older people walking clockwise while rotating the handheld prayer wheels. 

It was a long climb, about 150m putting our elevation close to 3700m. Amy remains positive.

Lots of cats and dogs here. Even in temples and restaurants.

The jokhang temple. Many Dalai Lama tombs are here. The largest, the 5th Dalai Lama, his tomb has 3700kg of solid gold (no pictures allowed inside though)

There is a large military presence here. Leaving our hotel in the morning we saw guys like this, but they had riot gear and automatic weapons and shotguns in addition to the long beating sticks. Technically I wasn't allowed to take this picture....
