a place that took our breath away.

literally and figuratively! we had the humbling opportunity to travel to a city atop the most elevated region in the world. we were out of breath walking up any amount of stairs! but it was BEAUTIFUL and breath-taking, to say the very least. here are a few snapshots of our weekend!

men and women, young and old, continuously spin prayer wheels and

rub prayer beads to earn merit.
