TIBET (July 2006)
Traveling is something I have always wanted to do more of but have never had
the time nor money. Now that I have both (sort of), I decide to jump in and go
to
Tibet. Not exactly the typical first choice for international travel, but then
again, it's exactly my typical first choice. I have been studying Buddhism off
and on for the past twelve years, so Tibet is a country familiar to me. I've
also been in a transition phase for the past year-and-a-half and this seems like
the place I need to be.
Going with a group seems a good idea being my first time out and, after
considerable research, I decide on Wisdom
Tours. This turns out to be a very auspicious
decision on my part.
I spend the week before the trip getting everything ready and saying
my farewells. I promise a lot of people lots of photographs and I plan
on returning with as many as I can. This will be my first trip using
a digital camera, but I have had it long enough to have gotten accustomed
to it.
All my goodbyes said
Now off into the unknown
Summer full of haze
