That would be me. We have made it the whole trip with everyone feeling well, but it got me today. It was nothing too bad but enough to waste a day. The good news is that this was our free day so I did not miss anything. The bad news is that our lodging is a bit more rustic like the landscape. There are some similarities between our hotel and the farmers house. Instead of an electric blanket on a wooden frame, I have a sheet on a box spring. I ache more now from resting most of the day than the initial ailment. Overall, our stay here in Yangshuo has been fine. It is just not the place you would want to be stuck. To borrow a line from a friend, we just spent three days in a one day town.

We did have a great day yesterday drifting down the Li River on bamboo rafts. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow. In the morning, we head back to Beijing for our last night in China. It has gone amazingly fast.

Everyone else is out celebrating our travel mate’s 50th B-day (the other Todd). They are attending a show with over 600 performers on the river. It is suppose to be very entertaining. I remained on my box spring resting for two straight travel days on our way home.
