Crusin

Spent the morning cruising up the Li River. We were traveling from Guilin to Yangshou. The views were spectacular. Their mountains are very different then ours. Not quite as large, made of limestone and often very narrow they are stills sight to be seen. the river is full of tourists but that doesn't seem to bother the water buffalo and the locals that live on the water.

Our guide is Sam and he is quite a character. Full of stories. Zeb keeps wanting to video tape them because you just never know what will come out of his mouth.

Anyway, we had lunch on the boat so we were ready to go once we arrived in Yangshou. Such a pretty place but sooooo humid here today. We took a golf cart to our hotel and the kids decided to go swimming. I decided instead to do some more shopping. Really there has bee little time to do it. Not sure what I'm looking for but it is fun to browse. I went up and down the market street, melting while I went.

We gathered together for dinner which was another meal fit to feed 20 people instead of the 10 at our table.

We then headed out to see another show called "Impresive Liu Sanjie". And impressive it was!it was held outside on the water with the mountains lit in the background. There are 700 performers and the show was directed by the same man that did the opening show at the Beijing Olympics. It was bloody hot but I would not have missed it for anything.

Everyone is doing well though Keara is very tired and we can't seem to figure out if is because she is fighting an infection or her medicine or what.

Only one more day and we head to Hunan. Hard to believe. It has gone incredibly fast.

Life is good ... just humid and hot.
