Off to Guilin!

Hey all! Sorry it's been soooo long!  These are pictures of our trek to Guilin, in the Guanxi province in the south of China.  Super long trip, a 20 hour over night train there from Shanghai so crazy. 

Today I checked the air quality index for my city and it says that five days ago, it was 822 in Weifang!! That is record breaking pollution!  The index only goes up to 500!  What is happening to my lungs?  I've been drinking 1.5 litre bottles of water here every day and thankfully the air is clearing up now.
Enjoy the pics!

 We took a night time boat tour of the rivers and lakes in Guilin.  The rain kind of screwed up our pictures but it was beautiful!























 My favourite photo from the tour- so artsy looking!
