May 26th, not yet done

After we had treated a nice afternoon back to Zang-Shieh River, right below from Yulong Glacier, I thought this time we were really done with our tour on this trip, but the driver/guide still took us back to town and dropped us at a small 400 year old park that had been beautiful before this five year draught, called He-Lung-Tein. 
Hau emailed me this picture he took with his camera.
If there were water in it, this scene could be as pretty as Shi-Hu in Hang-zou, of course in way smaller scare. 
since not much of it now.....I stated to take pictures from the side of garbage cans, that has local writing next to Chinese writing.
People were amazed on my silliness.....Taking picture from a garbage can??? 

We ate a quick supper out side of the park and another driver came take us, dropped me first at train station to Kunming, then Hau to airport back to Beijing.
Lijiang train station.
I first seen these people with back packs, and set next to them, quickly we started conversations.
They were both from Fu-Jien province originally. James is working in Wu-shi, Ling-Ling is studying in Kuang-Zou. They had just met in the eight days hiking somewhere near the Glacier, I have never heard of, that they will email me those info for my next trip there......yeah, right......at least not too soon. 
James had already emailed me for my newest plan of visiting the villages that my parents' families came from - An-shie and Yun-tsung in Fu-Jien Province.  Hmm.....
 
I have shocked these people with my old age, again......well, just don't know how to behave like one...
When the train came, they had to escort me to my section of the train before they went on to each of theirs. How sweet you can expect people around you to be!!!
 
I am truly thankful for all these good people I have met and shared the journey with in is trip.
