We rested up here in the big city ..i was just plain tired after our last few weeks and we had maps to find email to send and route finding, govt inquiries. We dont want to get turned around again. Leave by train NEast of here and then start to ride up to Langzu in Ganzu province along what is called the Hexi corridor towards urumqui where we will get our visa for Kazakstan? or somethign like that..its been a long trip and we are now both anxious to head north. Unfortunateluy stan has not been able to download any pics yet but keep checking the web site incase that chagnes..pictures tell a thousand words.
After I sent the last email I dared to surf the web and found out that in the area we were in and northward the Tibetan cause is spreading and self immolation is going on with young monks and nuns dying for the cause..therefor the govt sealed off all areas around these places and no foreigners including no Tibetans allowed into or out of the areas..Of course Stan and I are there and don't know these things but its all over the web... so its no secret.
We both value our personal freedom and feel blessed to have what we have...we are safe and we are well....
