Yangshuo-Day 1

So the day we arrived in China (after 24 hours of traveling) we got back on a bus and drove another 11 hours to a beautiful placed called Yangshuo. These are pictures from our first day there. In all of these pictures we will look hot and sweaty...very sweaty. That's because we are. The humidity was crazy and you never stopped sweating. Doesn't that sound lovely?? =)
Chase and me in front of the Li River (notice the Dr. Suess mountains....that is the landscape here!)
Chase in the cool (not temperature) streets of Yangshuo. This is where you could get some real bargains on a bunch of stuff you don't need.

Our favorite part of the trip--going down the Yulong River in a BAMBOO RAFT! It was so relaxing and beautiful! (This is actually Kylie & Spencer, but they have the picture of us....you get the idea...)

In the mud caves. I didn't go in because I was the "official" picture-taker....and murky water just isn't my thing.
Chase thought it would be a brilliant idea to dive head-first down this little mud slide thing. He regretted it.
If you didn't have swimwear they made you buy some....this is what Chase & Spencer were fortunate enough to wear....and what the rest of us were fortunate enough to look at.
This was the view when we came out of the caves....well, this is only about 1/4 of it. There were beautiful rice patties everywhere and it was just so green and picturesque. It was so typically China.
Spencer, Kylie, Chase, and me on our walk back down from the caves.
