Today I took a new friend around "town". I appeared to be as clueless about my own city as a tourist. But in my defense, LaoShan national park is huge and even though I've climbed it like 8 times, they've always been different entrances. This was my first time taking the 304 bus there and for around 30 cents, we got dropped off at the "top" of the mountain. Craziness!
The weather was perfect and we had a grand time taking photos.
We never made it the real top because we chose the beach over the grand mountain views. (We originally aimed to make it to the top to take this gondola cable car back down)
And boy am I glad. I mean to have passed up playing a fake piano on the beach?
To see boys in their underoos digging to the bottom of the earth to reach America?
To see grown adults jumping around and splashing as if they had not a care in the world?
Pure JOY!
