QUICK RECOVERY

In the morning I arise and all of my ailments have gone. Dave, my roommate, makes note that I don't sound like I'm in pain anymore, which I take to be a good thing. Tenpa had been on the phone the night before with the hospital in Gyantse, who were ready to admit me if my fever didn't break.

We begin the day with a visit to the Rabse Nunnery. It is noticeably cleaner than the monasteries we have visited. We have a brief tour and then meditate in their small hall. The day before we visited a farm house. Somehow I was able to take some photos, though I don't recall much of the experience.

More photos snapped in transit to Tsedang. We take a slight detour up a windy mountain road to view Yamdrok-tso, a beautiful lake that runs a deep shade of turquoise. A man there wants me to take (and pay for) a photo of his dog wearing a feather boa, but I resist.

Day ends with water
One of the four holy lakes
Sublime before us
