Tagong grasslands
Today hiked up to a place called Ani’s nunnery I think. Lovely spot with the gompa in a valley and the hills around filled with prayer flags and the nuns and monks so colourful and friendly. I think if I was a bird though I would go vegetarian, its where they chop up the dead people and feed them to the birds.
Been lucky with the weather after so much rain, everyday sunshine. Still hard to get over this place, its seems half the population are cowboys, the other half monks or nuns. But strolling thru the hills is so good, lovely grasslands now getting their autumn colours, hills covered in prayer flags and gompas etc, snow peaked mountains in the backgrounds, wandering amongst the yaks, the Khampas on horseback, the nomads with their black tents and some of the friendliest people around ( just wish they wouldn’t stand over when trying to write a blog – admittedly they liked it when they saw msn return to the home page and the events in a country close by – they couldn’t get it in Chinese ).
Plan to leave tomorrow but not sure where as transport a problem.
