Wow, that's amazing!!! Gorgeous pics- I'm always so jealous of all the traveling you get to do!! (Someday, when I have money again... *sigh*)

Thanks for sharing!!

Great pictures! I am completely wowed by this trip! I would definitely have been down at the base of Mount Hua with the tea drinkers! What a scary climb!!!

It looks like such a great trip, and your photos are beautiful as usual!

I loved the "disabled person channel." Also loved the roofs and the toll plaza. I bet you need to know how to use chopsticks in China, huh?

[jlrpuck]

Yeah, knowing how to use chopsticks is a handy trick. One of the women on our trip is a lefty, and she had trouble with the chopsticks, so she always seemed to find some regular silverware :)

Way, way cool.

I still can't believe I went.
