Warm, oh- so inviting:
The Beijing Guesthouse.
Cats roam as we make delicious dumplings
The Great Wall ever in sight: climbing up so high
In the mountains.
Watching:
The Sunset
Watching:
The Stars
Watching:
The Fireworks
Watching the time start to fly by
Tiananmen Square
Temple of Heaven
Heat dripping off everyone’s faces
Only having
Hot water
Not super quenching
The tiny village in the mountains
In the sky
Clouds envelope everything
Pianpo Zhai
Up high
In the mountains
Ping pong with the local children
Card games galore: hearts, president, cambio
2 week homestay
Raining every.single.day
Drip drip
Drop drop
From the top of the caves from our hike
Watching the fat raindrops fall from the cave
darkness
Stomach aches
Allergies
Mosquito bites
Singing ABBA
And..
Vomit (don’t worry only about five people have thrown up..)
Bumpy car rides winding through the hills
Zhaotong and Chinese tests
The absolute luxury of the toilet!
The shower!
Kunming for one second then quick swap to
Overnight train to Dali
Dali Eco-House
Dan dan and Tuanzi
Keneng
X-PHASE
San Ta
Three Pagodas
Big Buddha, Big Buddha, Big Buddha
Buddhas everywhere
Temple after temple after temple
Never ending
Now it’s pouring
Hen hao chi
Everyone is licking popsicles
Yum
This feels like summer now
Sun beating down
Jumping down from the rocks into the river
Ice ice cold
Refreshed.
Kunming homestay
Green lake park
Morning exercise
Hear the music
Feel the beat of the city
Snow Fox…Snow Fox
All the days
And now
Transference
The monkey’s birthday
Saying goodbye
Warm, salutations
Sweet goodbye
Till next time
