Lunchtime for the kitchen staff.

Checking in at Sims Cozy Guest House in Chengdu we couldn't help but see the 3 day weather forecast.  Cloudy with little sun in the offing but not much rain either, things were looking up.

Sim with his younger daughter Chelsea.

Sim and his wife Maki created a wonderful guesthouse and we choose to stay there to pick up our Tibet travel documents which in September 2007 were difficult to come by following anti Chinese pro Tibetan  demonstrations at Everest in the Spring.
