It is 7:30 in the morning on Monday the first full day of the conference. The first session begins at 9:00. It is warmer this morning with nice light and sunshine beginning to streak over the mountains catching the eye at odd angles. The wi-fi internet is supposed to be turned on from 6:00 in the morning but wasn't active until 7:20 today. The Internet users are competing with a yoga class about 20 feet away.The image above is of me in the mountains above Dzongsar Monastery, Kham, Eastern Tibet, back in August of 2004. The monastery, not visible, is way down in the valley below. At this time Victoria Blythe-Hill and I were doing and a conservation survey and cataloguing of all the sculpture and paintings in Dzongsar monastery.
