"How Tall Are We Now?"
Travels in China and Tibet

The following links will each take you to a gallery of images, usually of a particular spot or event from our trip. Once the gallery opens, use the red "Click Here for Options" near the upper left hand corner to change from the gallery (where you control which picture you look at and for how long) to the slideshow (auto viewing - click the little arrow under the photo to start) to the story (my brief notes on that set of images, sometimes including history and/or other observations).
