Good morning Julia,
We were always met on time by our guide, who were very gracious and efficient. ALL the food was delicious!
Lhasa was our favorite trip, because the people there have retained their identity and are very spiritual and the area is so beautiful. The two of us did fine in the youth hostel setting in Lhasa, but we are not ordinary American tourists. Conditions were somewhat poor, but we felt that made the experience more organic, and it put us in touch with lots of backpackers and independent travelers. We also had more opportunity to visit with common people, who were very friendly and open.
What we are allowed to see is very beautiful. Thank you for all your help in carefully planning. We experienced no disappointment in visiting Tibet. We will never forget the faces and the kindness shown to us.
Best regards,
Toni Bobruk
