June 8-9 - Danba, Sichuan, China

The next stop after Kangding was the charming Tibetan area of Danba.  As you will see from the pictures the architecture in the area is very much in a Tibetan style.  We hiked around the area for a day, checked out some crumbling towers, entered a closed (and collapsing) village chief's house on a rock, a cool pagoda area, helped some locals built their roof (carrying dirt and stones on their backs to the rooftop), rescued an old lady's escaping calf and got a pretty good feel for the place I think.  I would have definitely liked to explore for a couple more days but we had to keep moving on to Chengdu.
