Climbing Tai Shan

our tour guide Jim 


泰山(Tai Shan aka Mount Tai)



cable cars!

Our adventure on Tai Shan was awesome. We also visited Confucius' hometown. Climbing the mountain consisted of a bus ride, a couple thousand steps, many stops for incense and souvenirs, and then a cable car ride all the way down. When we finally made it back to Tianjin at the end of the weekend, I think we all had a really weird sensation of coming back "home" to our hotel here...we have been living together about 3 and a half weeks now and all know each other very well. We also really have a routine here and are used to the comforts of our hotel. Silly how that happens but it was nice returning after a long, exhausting trip.
