less abundant because of snow on March 5, but there were still
some to see along the trail to the peak

The Flowers are Beautiful. Toby
and Mia Craven's parents coach them during their interview.
They said the "flowers are beautiful"
in English, and they said something in Chinese.
The Cravens, from the United States, live
in Kunming. (photo by Lyle)
A Busy River. After visiting the
mountain, we went to Shuizhai Village, inhabited by the Zhuang minority,
for an evening meal. The river running
through the village was the center of activity, including Saturday
night bathing, clothes washing and swimming.
