As often happens, I went somewhere to see one thing and found something I wasn’t expecting. But before I explain that, I’ll just say that I’m technologically challenged right now because China has a different system and I’m not even sure how I was able to get to this site. Even so, it’s awkward to use, so, I’ll keep this short.

Back to the main event….Guilin, China. I was there last week to see its stunning natural setting of “karsts,” which are dramatic limestone mountains. There are thousands of them for dozens of miles in every direction beside lakes and rivers and green agricultural land. The landscape gives a feeling of being connected to something primordial and was even more breathtaking than I’d expected.
