China: Tour + Old Village

November4

My dad and I left Shanghai and took a high-speed train about 4 hours away to meet up with a guide for 4 days (around Huangshan). She is going to take us all over the yellow mountains and local area.

The first stop was an old village you will see below. It was old to us yanks, but not in the grand scheme of Chinese history. It was very cool to see, and especially to see the domestic tourist industry in action. Quite a few Chinese people who haven’t seen many foreigners would ask to take a picture with you. It was fun :). I think a lot of them are from smaller cities and rural areas.

Some of these pictures are not great, but at least you get a general idea of what the village was like. Along with some pics from the train and car ride of the countryside :).

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
