house. The day in between was a rest day which we spent not doing
much other than checking the place out and relaxing. The hike back to
the hot springs and the main road was infinitely easier since we
followed a real trail! We managed to hitch a free ride all the way
from the park gates back to Deqin - actually for free, which was a
nice bonus!

Image 2 - The interior of the old family house next to the guest house
- the real deal, complete with perperually smoky interior.
Image 3 - One of the grandkids by the door of the old house. As an
interesting side note, the host of the guesthouse, a young Tibetan guy
who'd studied English in India is one of the sons of the family. The
interesting part is that he has 2 fathers - 2 brothers are married to
one woman, and this is apparently quite normal in Tibetan culture.
