Highest Place on Earth..

Altitude…

You arrive in Lhasa, and alititude sickness or the feeling of lethargy, inability to sleep, headaches, and vomiting start for the first 2 days..

I fortunately just was sleepless for most of my 4 days, but survived the last day due to fatigue caused by horseback riding in the gorgeous Decchan Tibetan Valley for 6 hours on horses named Tonto, Chocolate, and Princess….it was fabulous.

Since I flew, the change of oxygen in the air was drastic, rather than if I had driven in from Nepal.

I had weird health forms to fill out during customs, and ridiculous temperature checks.

Gotta love China (love my sarcasm?)
