| These first four photos are of a home in a multi-story building in the center of Lhasa. Our gracious host fed us buttered yak tea and "sampa", a mixture of roasted barley flour, yak butter and sugar. Sampa is a bit like dry cookie dough, sweet and tasty; the tea is thick and unlike any I've tasted before. Our guide has a better entertainment system than the three of us on the trip. The most important room in a traditional Tibetan home is the chapel. |  |

| We visited this house in a nearby village before going to our guide's home. The chapel and kitchen were a bit more modest, but they had just gotten electricity not too many years ago. The pump-house in the bottom picture was subsidized by the government to encourage development in the area. A yak (very special animal in Tibet) is above. | ||
