Tomorrow we should hit the northernmost point of our trip. Unfortunately there's no time left to touch the actual Mongolian border :( 2010-08-30
Expected to find grassland up here, but that (along with actual Mongolians apparently) has been wiped out and replaced w/ cultivated fields. 2010-08-30
Also finally got off national highway 110! Now making way east on dirt roads. Camping in field of sunflowers tonight with mountain backdrop. 2010-08-30
Wind settled down and road conditions was paved. Evan was sick but we finally got over 100km, which we need to average back to Beijing! 2010-08-30
What are we looking at here? A young boy with a pimple? Kid looks cleaner and healthier than many elsewhere in China. Why tag this image with “dirty”?
Mostly because he’s got dirt on his face, but you’re right, I probably should’ve tagged it as “dirt” and not “dirty.”
