Here are the first photos from the Dalai Lama's visit here to Mongolia. It's exhilirating to be this close to him, in these ancient temples surrounded by chanting monks. I'm on a quick lunch break, so I'll have more pics and stories to tell tonight. For now, enjoy:
Blessed Burqan! I've been haunting your blog to see when we'd get the first peek... you're so close it's like you could reach out and touch him! I'll shut up now, and let the stories unfold!
