The Foreign Language Department at our university takes a trip every year. The trip is open to teachers and their families. The foreign teachers were also invited, so Alison and I decided to go on a Chinese-style tour to Henan province.
The attraction was called Ba Li Gou--basically a gorge
Alison, Bernie (French teacher), and me wearing our tour group red caps.

The scenery was truly captivating
In a cave behind the waterfall
Canoeing on a bamboo raft

Then we took these crazy blue steps up the side of the mountain.
An awesome view from the top
Gettin' on my gear to go down the alpine slide. Sure beats the stairs!
The entire group from Qufu. Can you find the three foreigners?
Two of the teachers' children. They took awhile to warm up to us, but on the way home on the bus, they gave Alison and I one sunflower seed each--a sure sign of friendship.
The views look AMAZING! Those blue stairs are pretty crazy. By the way you look super in shape!
