One of the many colorful women in the Wednesday market in Ameng Town (阿猛鎮). As always, I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts on the ethnicity based on the clothing styles.
One of the more citified LBXes I've photographed for the site thus far. This was shot outside the modern art museum near my house. The woman with the baby is writing on her cell phone with a stylus.
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
