After a long climb, lots of panting and gorgeous views, I finally made it to the entrance of the palace (insert sigh of relief). Things of note: 1) The architecture and decoration - the ornate painting of the columns, ceiling, shutters and around the windows. Also, the thin skirt of white fabric hanging around the edges of the roof which blew peacefully in the wind. This was all very typical everywhere I went. 2) The pilgrim in front of me - wearing a long dress, a straw hat, a face mask (difficult to see) and clutching prayer beads. 3) Finally, my guide Tashi in the upper right-hand corner, patiently waiting for me. He didn't seem winded at all.
