WE found this temple, well a friend showed me that was off the map, so we didn't have to fight with chinese tourists to get a picture in the entrance

What does a $5 a night room get you....well we found out. About 200 mosquitos, a shower that dangled from the wall, a sink the size of my hand, half a mirror, wet toilet better, windows that don't close and a door that needed a padlock, two beds that looked like they had been peed on and not too much else.

Happy Valentines Day
You probably won't get the greeting on time, but I was reading your blog today and wanted to sent a Valentine Greeting. The pictures are great! You mentioned the 200 mosquitos, well they would die here in Ohio! We are having a blizzard that has lasted for days. Temperature is in the teens. So, enjoy the beautiful scenery (and it does look beautiful) and hopefully the mosquitos will find something else sweet to nibble on.
