Our contributing travel writer Andrew N. Grimes (with Allen and Nancy Grimes) of "In the Rest of the World" writes about their experiences in Tibet, visiting the spectacular Potala Palace. This palace is the former residence of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, who was recently presented with a Congressional Gold Medal by George W. Bush, in spite of protests of the Chinese government.

Flying into Tibet after having traveled over lush, mountainous areas of Western China was a shock. The barren, grey landscape can be foreboding and makes for an interesting first impression.

A day trip to 17,500 feet took us past villages where yaks plowed the rocky landscape, and because nothing much grows at such an altitude, it seemed a lot of work with little return. The oxygen pillows provided us were meant to be sucked on when anyone started feeling lightheaded, but we were naive to think inhaling a small amount of oxygen would make much of a difference.
