Beautiful southwest China
We spent our last couple of weeks in China in the lush, verdant southwest. Quaint old towns with cobblestone lanes (and loads of tourists!!) and wonderful hikes up into the hills. It was a wonderful way to unwind from the bustle of the Chinese cities and enjoy the more laidback lifestyle of the minority cultures in small villages that paint a very different picture of the country...one that is a bit more aligned with my pace! Despite our poor timing (in the midst of the rainy season), we spent an invigorating couple of days hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge in the expansive walls of the gorge towering above us. It was wonderful to get out and stretch our legs again in such a beautiful landscape, up above the heat and away from the smog. I'll let the pictures tell the story...

did you two visit the great wall anywhere along the way? if i ever nerve up enough to bail out from under the thumb of the man, i want to walk the entire length of the great wall (though the parts in between the sections might be boring, but that's where i'll meet the indigenous).
looks like an awesome trip, be safe and keep making memories.
