36 hours later....


We left Beijing last Thursday evening by train bound for Kunming (昆明) all the way in the south of China. It was a long ass train trip, 36 hours in all, but well worth it for the scenery alone. Kunming is completely different from Beijing in that it's elevated but also very tropical. The air is humid and there are palm trees. It's already starting to feel more like back home in Miami.
The guy in the photograph all the way to the left is our friend Paul from Newcastle in the U.K. We leave China this afternoon and arrive in a town called Sapa in Vietnam tomorrow afternoon. Check for constant updates over the next few weeks...

Ariel, make sure that you detail each of your stops.Names of cities and what you liked best, food, and pictures. And have a great time doing it. Be safe all of you. And take care of my little girl.
Love and thank you,
Maida
