My Fated Life Partner

We hiked up Miaofeng Mountain on Saturday to take in some views and explore some Buddhist and Daoist Temples. I didn't like the hiking on the way up, or down for that matter, but the view from the top was gorgeous, so I suppose the sweating and heavy breathing would just have to be tolerated.
We paid our respects to the various gods and statues at the top, but Jill and I spent the most time with "The Man in the Moon" who can apparently help you find your fated life partner.

We'll see how that goes, though I'm not sure I enjoy having to hike to the top of a mountain to find him.

This is a restaurant. It is also a family's house, on the other side of the table, we had a lovely view of their bed.
And behind us, the television.
This is where they cooked our meal.
It was a loooooong way up.

This dragon man guarded one of the entrances.

Let me know if that works out for you, because if so, I will be visiting China very soon.

I miss you tons, and I'm glad you're still having a great time in China! Good luck with the ridiculousness that the Olympics will surely bring!
