A perfect night: quiet, peaceful, relaxing.

I woke up to a breakfast of cantaloup melon and a dish of noodles. Then the owner’s little nephew and I took a bunch of action photos:

fun

Mainly he posed, and I took the pictures:

The sky was blue, there was laughter in the air.

I was happy.

Then I said good-bye to the owner, a young Hui from the far West:

His family’s hospitality had moved me deeply, and I was a bit sad to be out on the road again.

But there were good things about walking as well. For example, I successfully marched in my flip flops for a whole day! And I managed to stay away from the freeway as well.

There was a perfect little road right next to it, apparently just there for me to walk on.

So many details to notice everywhere:

“Let’s get moving and start to work hard for the next 100 days ็งฏๆž่กŒๅŠจ่ตทๆฅ๏ผŒ่ฟ…้€ŸๆŽ€่ตทๅคงๅนฒไธ€็™พๅคฉ้ซ˜ๆฝฎโ€œ

Okay, I’ll be sounding a bit like Beavis & Butt-head here, but that last word gaochao ้ซ˜ๆฝฎ means “climax”, and just like the English word climax, it can be interpreted as orgasm. So this banner is basically saying “blablablabla… 100 days of ORGASM.” Yay!

I was happy I didn’t have to walk on the other side of the freeway though:

Because the road was peaceful and it was mine:

I was trying to get a tan.

When it got unbearably hot at around two in the afternoon, I found a perfect spot for a nap:

resting place

Really, words cannot describe how good it was to lay down under those trees and do nothing for four whole hours.

And then I walked some more:

Sometimes I would walk through danger zones:

bee keeper

(The little boxes are homes for thousands of honey bees, though most of them seemed to be empty.)

And sometimes I would see large areas covered with wolfberries ๆžธๆžๅญ, the local produce.

The berries are tiny and are often put into tea:

When I talked to some of the farmers about this, I figured out two things:
1) they pronounced it goujizi, not gouqizi.
2) the market was apparently very bad this year.

I reached the settlement of Shashanzi, which is part of the 83th Regiment 83ๅ›ข (a working brigade just like Tuotuo) early in the evening:

It seemed like a fine little place, and I was able to find a hotel with a shower that allowed me to stay for a couple of days, so everything was good.

Just behind this little settlement…

car and dune
