New way to see the pictures!

Hello all! We have made a decision on how we will upload photos to our blog. Because blogspot will only allow us to upload 5 pictures at a time, we have decided to use facebook which allows us to upload 60 at a time, but don't you worry all you non-facebook users, we can still share them with you! Below are the links you can use to take a look! We just want you to know that these pictures do no justice for pretty much everything we have seen, they are all about a thousand times better in real life! If any of you would like to see all 4000+ pictures you are welcome to do so when we return home. We love you all!

There are some repeat pictures in the first 2 albums or so, but the others are all new from our trip to "The Wild West of China" Yes that's right we traveled to the Yunnan Provence which is bordered by Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Tibet, and Sichuan (where the big earthquake was), we were also within about 50 miles of India. We got to see lots of different things in this non-exhaustive list.

Tibetan culture including people, religion, and of course food!

Many Chinese minority groups in all the villages, including the Naxi and Yi people!

We saw the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at 18,044 Feet!

We hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is the worlds deepest Gorge at 12,795 Feet deep!

We saw and hiked to a huge glacier in the shadow of Mt. Kawa Karpo at a staggaring 22,113 Feet!

We also were able to visit the cities of Lijiang, Shang-rila, Deqin, Feilai Si, Kunming, Dali, and rode bikes and drove through countless small villages and rice fields.

Over all we have to say it was a great trip! 12 days of adventure on overnight buses, hostels, villagers, old Chinese women trying to get us to smoke weed (the people in this area use marijuana seeds as a spice on their food), and about anything else you could imagine! Enjoy the pictures and there are some videos below for your entertainment!
