Lhasa

Our first stop in the morning was Barkhor Square in order to visit the Jokhang Temple. This temple is the spiritual heart of Tibet and contains many small subchapels.

Next we visited the Potala Palace. Everyone but my father made it up to the main buildings. Pictures are not permitted inside. Afterwards we visited a carpet factory where my parents bought a large wall carpet of the Potala Palace.

For lunch, we ate at the Tibetan Lhasa Kitchen where I had fried flat dumplings with yak meat. The rest of the day was spent resting.

For dinner, we ate at the Naga Restaurant where I had a yak burger and apple crepe. This restaurant is actually known for it's French food.
