had a lovely field trip today with 4 nursing students from central south university. we all went to yuelu mountain, in the center of changsha, and hiked to the summit, which is ~300 meters (seemed like more to me!) we left at ~6:30 this morning, to beat the heat, but it was still plenty warm and i was drenched by the time we reached the top. i attribute the haziness of my images to humidity and exhaust, but can't eliminate shoddy camera work, either - while uploading these pictures, i found that i had inadvertently taken some very dull videos, while trying to photograph more scenery. in any case, what photos can't tell you is how absolutely fragrant yuelu mountain is. there are jasmine and magnolia blossoms out, but not an overwhelming number, certainly fewer than what i would expect for such a nice scent. and the trees, bird songs, shade, and breeze were such a treat. i am hoping to learn the bus route between central south university and yuelu mountain so i can scoot over every so often.back in my air conditioned apartment, full of *fresh* pineapple. i have been pampered with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables! i've had no chocolate cravings in almost a week, which is really saying something :)
