Seeing 7000 meter glaciers

---

We are in Tashkurgan, a few km from the Pakistan border (and not far from Tajikistan for those of you checking out the map). Altitude is near 4000 meters, the highest David has been to. Scenery on the highway from Kashgar yesterday was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We are really in Central Asia now, Kazak and Tajik people and different environment. We saw some Yaks and Camels yesterday, and although David was bored on an 8 hour bus trip, he did enjoy new experiences -- including two passport control checks by Chinese officials as we travel from region to region. We had a picnic lunch at a lake surrounded by glaciers and a few sheep, goat, cow and an occasional yak.
I attach just one or two pictures here, and will get caught up later on many others.
