Overland to Gyantse

On the 15th we took a long, long, dusty, bumpy bus trip through Yangbajing, and over two 3-mile-high passes to Gyantse. 
The net day we toured the Pelkor Chöde and the Kumbum Stupa, with hundreds of religiious artworks. 
As we headed back toward Shigatse, we stopped at a small water-powered barley mill.
