The trackers that make special shoes to stand up to the rough rocks . The shoes are made out of bamboo fibers. They seem to do the trick as they have no problem keeping their footing on the splippery rocks!

At variuos stops along our tour of China we saw weddings . Maybe it was the time of year ( National Days) or just the fact of a huge population! We were told weddings are often in the morning , if its a first wedding. It seemed to be a huge celebration! Fire works are set off in the streets in the small towns!!

 The Funnest thing I've ever done when traveling probably had to be on the Yangzi River. My dad and I rented these little black inner-tubes, and floated down the river to a spot where they collected......
