Scrambling up to the cliff temples and dwellings at Drak Yerpa made my breathing sound not unlike Darth Vader. You're already at 12.000 feet at the capital of Lhasa, so at Drak Yerpa you're probably pushing 13,000 and feeling it fast. A chance meeting with pretty much the cutest family in Tibet was the reward that made it all the more worth it. The hipster dad with the sunglasses was jamming out to my ipod, which made his wife and kids chuckle. They lived in a precarious rock house on the side of a cliff. She had two gold incisors. May I introduce you to the coolest family ever.
