my posts have been getting shorter =P here's another short one. Yesterday was great. Again, did not go according to plan. found that Six Harmonies Pagoda is nicer than expected (read: not been 'rebuilt/restored') and the peonies they are famous for were all blooming beautifully, and there's a huge park, and hiking trails on the mountain behind connect it to all the other sights nearby (max 2h hikes). So of course, I walked to HuPao Springs, another nice big park, beautiful springs and trees etc..

Then my camera ran out of battery. sigh. Came back and out again, then headed out to dinner and to get groceries for huangshan (next stop!), then got caught in the rain when I decided to take a detour to see the musical fountain another time. So jeans and shoes are soaked again.. sigh..

Today had wanted to go to WuZhen, but I'm feeling lazy, so I think I'll just sit ard and read and gaze at the lake if the sun decides to make an appearance... =)
