Day 7 - Lhasa - the Summer Palace and Gardens

While touring the Summer Palace and Gardens, my guide sat and chatted with an older woman who was sitting near the residence that was on an island in the middle of a pond (pictured above). She offered both of us a "special" candy made from yak milk. The stuff tasted like really hard, solidified butter. In other words....not so good. I asked her to hold it up while I took her picture. She offered me more but I politely declined.
