Quick Update

Have not updated in awhile. Two more teachers are leaving so Friday we had another BBQ. Met the new teacher. He is also from Michigan so we have some in common. Went to a new resturaunt today and had tripe. Food was a little spicy, normally I am fine with spice but I had to buy some milk on the way home to settle the stomach.  Finished my first summer camp class and start another this coming Monday. Last month was elementary this camp I will be with the Early Starters (preschool).

Found Purple Mountain

After the long walk today I decided to go to the Nanjing Museum. I failed and ended up in the Purple Mountain Park. I decided to walk until I found something. I ended up finding Purple Mountain and climbed to the peak. It felt like I climbed 30 miles but I am guessing it was less. I am not sure how far it is as all the signs are Chinese. I took a lot of pictures when I am done with it I will link a video from the peak.














































I took the road less traveled, not much of a difference

Got lost 7/21

Spent two days lost in Nanjing but found my way home. I tried to find Purple Mountain but was lost in the city instead, found out later you can get to the mountain from where I was but the signs are all in Chinese. I did take some nice pictures.
