Day 29: Bessie and Yosef That’s what we named our horses. When we were riding them. In Mongolia. !!! Let me back up …   Phil woke up still feeling crappy, but was a trooper and did not want to miss out on this day trip to the Grasslands of Mongolia. Benny had helped him… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 29

Day 28: The Tale of Two Cultures   We ate breakfast, and Phil went to the theater. I joined a group going to this area of town that was supposedly Arabic. We weren’t sure what that meant or what we would find. I just now googled it and all I could find was that it… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 28

Day 27: A Travel Day From Hell I left off the previous post with us assumedly going to bed. Well, taking a nap was more accurate. We had to be back on the bus by 2am. Phil was sick with the crud that was going around. We probably got a good hour and a half… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 27

Day 25: A Little Jaunt to Yantie Yantie was our next destination (yen tie). We got on the bus at 9am for a 3 hour drive. It was very sad to leave this beautiful place :( We arrive at our odd hotel around noon. We ate, and then I wandered around by myself for a… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 25

Day 24: More Beach, Please! We slept in. Like really slept in. Until 10:30. It was glorious. As we were getting ready, we heard drums playing outside. I couldn’t see what was going on from my window, except that it was in front of the hotel. So I grab the camera and hurry down. Right… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 24

Day 23: Somewhere Beyond the Sea … The hotel/theater setup was fantastic. Phil got to sleep in, eat breakfast and then simply walk over to the theater via a connecting hallway from the restaurant. I did some much needed laundry for a few hours after breakfast. I kind of have a system down now. Soak… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 23

Day 22: Come On Ride the Train (Reference to a good ol’ 90’s song ;)) Our train was at 10am, and not far from the hotel. So we were able to sleep in and eat breakfast. We didn’t sleep very well at this hotel though. That made for 3 nights in a row without getting… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 22

Day 21: Big Buddha Today we went to see a giant Buddha statue! Ok, so this title references a game you may or may not know. So excuse the inside joke if you are on the outside. So, the game “Big Booty” …. All I could think about was the words for this game, but… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 21

Day 20: Wuxi Today was another loooong day. We again traveled and had a show in the same day. Yuck. Phil left at 8am with the tech crew, and I left with everyone else at 10am. It was only a 1.5 hour bus ride though. (these were taken from the bus window fyi) We stayed… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 20

Day 19: Jianjiagang Today, we travel to the city of Jianjiagang (jon gee uh gong), and have a show in the same day. Can we say ugh? Ugh. For the tech crew, that meant leaving early in a van. I went with since it would be roomier than the bus. It was only a 2… Continue reading Adventures in China: Day 19
