We enjoy walking around our city and through the countryside. By now, we’ve learned to watch our step (safety tape is very rare here):If we step into a hole and need medical help, it is easy to spot the traditional Chinese medical hospitals:
While walking by a park yesterday, we noticed that the migrating seagulls have arrived for winter:
Last week, we walked up the nearby mountain and found some huge water buffalo on the trail:But the most danger on this mountain comes from the trucks that run continuously from the quarry:
However, on this day, one truck had a broken wheel:
This provided us with the rare opportunity to walk on the construction road. We didn’t go too far before reaching a foreboding sign:
so we followed the folks in front of us down a steep path to a village. Along the way, we saw terraced gardens,
an interesting farm house built into the side of the mountain,
and the ubiquitous tombs:Since the path and road were above the houses, we could see corn and peppers drying on the rooftops:
We also saw people who have been walking a lot longer than we have (and carrying heavier loads):
Great post! I like the warning sign (and the water buffaloes)… you know, you may have more interesting walks there than we have here…
Our walks might be interesting (and at times, surprising), but your blue sky in Utah are clearly superior to our grey air.
