Tibet Clockwise - Part 5

Almost done with Tibet....

May 5, 2006 - Nuns, Monks, and Muslims - And we switch hotels .....Again!

The plan for the day is to visit the Ani TsangKung Nunnery just southeast of Jokhang temple for 11AM prayers, then head to the nearby Muslim Quarter to see if anything is shakin' for Friday prayers, then over to Sera Monastery, 4 kms north of city center for the 3PM debating session.

Sera Monastery: The monk on the right, clapping his hands, was quite a debater. We watched him literally "work up a sweat" over the course of 30 minutes.
