China My visit to Yunnan, China was exciting! These girls were dressed in traditional colors as they tended to the reflecting rice terraces. The Confucian Temples were so peaceful and full of scrolls telling the history of the Han Dynasty. The climate was humid, but the river boat races were cool—there were 30 guys all rowing a boat that was so skinny I thought they would fall off! The locals were proud of their heritage of being a diverse people, but are very poor—they barely make 300 yen a year! We got a workout hiking through the mountainous terrain, but got a break with the many rivers we could catch a boat ride.
