| During our entire stay in Gansu, we were accompanied by locals, which turned out to be a family that has a relationship with the school. Apparently, every year the school travels here, we work with the same family. On our last day in Xiahe, the family invited us (as in the entire school) to their home for lunch. Here are the couple that hosted us. |

 |
| An extended family of six live here. Here we are in the courtyard. The glass enclosed area are the main living quarters. |
 |
| To the left, the kitchen. |
 |
| Looking towards the front door, the door on the right is the master bedroom for our host couple and the doors on the left go to storage. |
 |
| Inside the main living area, is a small prayer room. |
 |
| Our students had the opportunity to make their own "baozhi." |
 |
| Our student attempts.... |
 |
| ...but here's the REAL master. Grandma (our male host's mother) was in the kitchen pumping them out. |
 |
| Our female host's sister, who is holding her second daughter. |
 |
| After lunch, the afternoon was spent learning how to draw in the Buddhist style. |
 |
| A great afternoon that gave me and our students a real taste of modern Tibetan life. Thanks to our hosts and I'll see them next year when we go back! |
