Here's what I did this weekend in pictures.

I hung out with some Chinese guys this weekend. We went to an old village and spent the night there. It rained, but not enough to keep us inside. The food was not the best, but it was totally survivable. We hiked around a bunch of trails and that night we played spoons. Then we ordered an entire roasted sheep for a late night snack. It was small, and it was an incredibly carnivorous thing to do.

This morning we left that place and went to a scenic spot to climb a mountain. The drive in the van there was treacherous, but the driver didn't actually succeed in killing us, and we arrived intact. Then we spent a while climbing the mountain by way of stone steps that had been laid out. The chair-lift wasn't on when we got there. Eventually I decided that the day before's hike plus what I'd already done equalled enough, so I stopped before the summit and climbed back down the silly thing. After a while, everyone got back, and we came back to the big city.

If you'll note in the pictures of the mountains, the sky was blue. Weird.
