Outside the airport in Guilin.
Taking the boat from Guilin to Yangshuo
Lots of waterbuffalo!
The scenery on this river is famous and is thought of as a living art gallery.
Lots of tiny towns on the banks are suspended somewhere between doing things as they've been done for centuries and the new economy of tourism.
Lots of Chinese tourists take private motorboats and stop at the sandbars to take photos with the buffalo.
This mountain is said to look like lots of galloping horses (squint real hard and use your imagination).
Arriving at Yangshuo.
The hotel we were staying at was a little ways outside of town, surounded by rice fields. We spent the first afternoon jsut walking around.
Kids coming home from school.
It's a beautiful area.
The wet market in Yangshuo.
This was the first time I'd ever actually seen dog being sold in a market.
A big section of this small city is primarily dedicated to places that cater to Western tourists.
It was May 5th, and Dad met some other Americans at an Aussie bar and had a tequila for Cinco de Mayo.
We took a cooking class.
The view from where the class' lunch was set up.
The other students.
A beautiful place for a cooking class (and nice and bright considering that the power was out in all the little towns had gone out).
Baby chickens at the cooking class!
The Giggling Tree hotel. A lovely place to stay!
A nice bike ride.
Beautiful tea.
