First day in Yunnan province

We took a little day trip outside of Kunming today to Xi Shan which
translates as "western hills." There's a steep mountainside with
taoist, confucian and buddhist shrines built into the cliffs amidst
what feels like a jungle.

After a much needed nap, we met our group for our tour of Yunnan. They
include 4 Australians, one Dane, a fellow Californian, a New Zealander
and his significant other from Chile (both of whom have been teaching
in Greensboro, NC), two Brits, and our leader (Chinese).

Long ride to Lijiang tomorrow.
