New friends in China

One of the joys of travel are the people you meet ... again and again and again.

Joe and Barbara, Americans living in Stockholm (each married someone else there, ended up divorced and found each other) have been, well, everywhere I've been. I met them one day in Beijing's Forbidden City, the next on the Great Wall, and a third day in the Summer Palace.

I've just run into them again...in Lhasa, in Tibet.

"We like this so much more than Beijing,'' Barbara said. "The air is cleaner, the buildings are painted, they're more interesting. The people are colorful.''

Said Joe, "It's exotic.''

Wonder where I"ll see them tomorrow?
