Danbo & Danba have had another pair of twins, Little Dani & Dan. Baby Angel is not at all happy about it, she wants to be the baby in the family. I guess she'll just have to get used to having younger siblings.
Out in schezuan province near Tibet. The people are very friendly. We stumbled on a picnic of sorts and people were all offering us food and drink. The bread was good. Don't try the Yak Butter Tea, though!

Some 10 km to the northeast of Danba (丹巴) lies Buke. It is to Sichuan what San Gimignano is to Tuscany: a small town full of farms with high towers. Once this was a matri-lineair culture, but no longer. Besides its monumental towers, this village with people of Tibetan stock is neat and clean and a pleasure to spend a few hours.
When I on the road to Danba,the kind driver let us to take a photo here...
Peaceful and baeutiful...

The Science Channel aired an intriguing documentary on September 2, 2008, "The Secret Towers of the Himalayas". The hour long documentary chronicled the mapping and dating of an estimated 600 stone towers
scattered throughout Tibet by Frederique Darragon and Michel Peissel between 1998 and 2003. Carbon dating showed that the towers are between 500 and 1,200 years old.
Who built these towers and why is it a mystery.
The ancient manuscripts of the Buddhist monks in the area do not mention the towers. The indigenous people of the region have no written history and, because of their isolation, there is little communication between villages. Often the dialects from one valley to the next is so diverse as to be a different language. Darragon and Peissel assume that this isolation and the lack of a written language may have been a major factor in the lost of the towers' history.
There are mentions of the towers, however, by Chinese scholars late in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in descriptions of kingdoms that were thought to be only legends. Darragon found that many of the villages where the towers are located bear the same names as these kingdoms.

I'm delving into an unscanned box of negatives... These are from a village near a city called Danba in the Garyong gorges.
Danba, Danbette, & little baby Angel have a girl's day out.
I think I've run out of dolls to put in this :-(
Introducing Danboy Danboard. The Danboard family adopted him from Ehime Japan, & now he lives with them. He was a little nervous moving in with his new family, but Danba baked him a special batch of cookies, & now he's fine.
Danbo Danboard, his wife Danba Danboard, & their children, Danbo Jr,(future astronaut), the twins Danbette & Danbro (everybody says they're the spitting image of great grandma Danbowski) & finally, little baby Angel.
