Well, I got a photo from my desktop to my new Flickr! account. Then somehow ( I could never do it again!) I got it from my Flickr! account to this blog. But it turned out on the very bottom of my blog, as if it was the first thing I'd done. I wonder how I could put it on the side?
Well, what do you know: I got it to the side. This one is from my desktop. This is a photo of me on my way to Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunan Provice last summer. This is the front of a small outdoor roadside cafe where we stopped for a bite. Everyone at the table dipped chopsticks into the communal bowls and ate directly from there. Around the side the dishwashers were washing the dishes using a garden hose on the pavement. If you look closely on the left you can see their equipment: garden hose, metal mixing bowl doubling as a wash basin, cement ground to dry everything on. All very different from home. But that's why we travel, so we can see how other people live and do things. Tiger Leaping Gorge is meant to be dammed soon. The next day we rode bikes around the small farms, up one dirt path after another, following an old Naxi woman to her plot. Then up a 15,000 foot glacier, of which I can't remember the name, just now. Black Dragon Mountain?
I am currently reading Kephart's Undercover. It is exquisit. I know some 7th grade girls who will love it.
Last night I completely forgot to pick up my son in the city because I was so involved in trying to make Flickr! work.
