Another shot of me and Potala

Another shot of me and Potala

This is the classic postcard shot from across the street. It costs only 2 RMB to climb the steps to take this photo, which makes it a better deal than the 100 RMB entrance fee to Potala.
I am headed to the Nepalese border tomorrow via Everest Base Camp (5200 m). It's a five-day trip in a land cruiser with four other folks. I've been in Lhasa for over a week now, getting acclimated, so I think I will be good to go. I've still got my oxygen canister from the trip here anyways. From the border, I will bus it to Kat-kat-kat-kathmandu...
