The curse of Liz's travels....

"Demonstrations against Chinese rule in Tibet on Friday — the most violent riots there in nearly two decades — left at least 30 protesters dead, according to a Tibetan exile group. China ordered tourists out of Tibet’s capital and troops patrolled the streets Saturday....."

As the Associated Press is reporting....

This truly sucks as it is a beautiful and friendly region and I have some many great memories from this summer of being there. I'm starting to feel like this is my own version of the Sports Illustrated cover curse...

I visit somewhere and something happens afterward -- Peru's earthquake after I am there, London's terrorist attacks after I have just gotten back from Europe, Hurricane Katrina after a jaunt to New Orleans that spring....and well I could go on.

At least I never lose my luggage....

I think this could be planned. They pick the time when China try to project the image of harmony and unity.
