This monk insisted that I take his picture along with his friends and family. It was at a mid-summer festival on a huge grassy plain. He wrote his address in Tibetian on a scap of paper, and then he tried writing it in Chinese. We copied the Chinese when we got home and used that to mail him the pictures. I sure hope he got them!

The monk in red dress lives in a monestry. This is a place far away from Lhasa. Today his family are here to see him. He is the second son in his family. That is why he is a monk. He knows it's just a part of his life to be a monk and not to get marry.
