Hanging out in China

---

Hello all,

I'm here in Yangshuo in China - Guangxi province.
I really REALLY miss Boulder, the weather is so hot,a nd I want some yogurt and milk and cheese, and cool nights and bike lanes, and here it's no where to be found 😞

BUT there are a lot of things here you wouldn't find in America. Like eating chicken feet! or snake, or dog.

Also, I'm learning a little Chinese!

Here the pictures include:
-Guilin's super large library.
-Rafting with Martin and Niek from Holland (they were my partners in crime for a few days)
-Some climbing photos
-Pictures of Yangshuo

Rafting with Niek and Martin
I had so much fun with those men!!!
(I'm in the middle)

Guilin's biggest library
If the libraries are a reflection of brains, then these guys must be smart!

The French have more curse words than any other language.

Old fashioned water pump from a well!
Yes, they do still exist! :)

Washing my face post-climb
If you notice, I'm wearing Stonewear Designs' blue top.
So comfortable to climb in, and fits perfectly. Love it!!

Niek and Martin before I joined them.

I'm waving a lot because...
There were dozens of people watching, and kept saying Hallo! Hallo! and waving, so I waved back.

Envious!
Hi, cuz, I can always count on feeling envious every time I read another entry. All I can say is, Wow, and Good For You!! Can't wait until you pass this way again, whenever that might be, and get filled in in person. Saw your grandfather last week and spoke with Estelle yesterday and today. He seems to be doing somewhat better, his eye surgery yesterday made his doctor very happy, and a happy doctor is always nice to have. Keep it up and let the rest of us live vicariously through you.
