Road to Gyantse

Incense making operation on the Thempo River.  

The fast flowing water turned wooden paddles which churned the red incense to a thick paste which was shaped into bricks then dried in the sun.

We hung a left at the sky burial site and took a detour as the road to Gyantse was closed due to construction.

I took a nap and woke up in a dessert. 

Our driver who sang like an angel was quietly singing along to a Bob Marley tape and I wondered if someone had slipped us magic mushrooms at lunch.
