This is the view from Sophia's window, the Pagoda in the distance actually has a Buddhist temple inside of it. This is supposedly the tallest (highest altitude? who knows) Pagoda in SE Asia, we are not so sure.
This is also from her window, just to the left of the other one. The mountains, on clearer days are spectacular. The bars are standard of almost every apartment/home in chinese cities.
In other non interesting news, I made Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing today, the balsamic vinegar we got from Kunming, and some of the spices from the US, but it actually tasted pretty good and is way healthier than most salad dressings. David and I are trying to follow a much healthier diet to help his cholesterol and BP, it is called Eat to Live. We are just doing it at home, not when we go out to eat, etc. Basically lots and lots of fruit and veggies.
