Another day, another mountain! My ride started with a random man running out, handing me two Red Bulls, and snapping a selfie.
It ended in a small town where a sweet man named Li waited with me for over an hour as the police figured out how to register me, a foreigner, for the night. (Apparently I am the first American to overnight in this town.) Li then carried Louise up three flights of stairs. Total mensch action!
In between, it was a long climb lined with waterfalls, rivers, and tiny women tending gigantic hillside farms, including this lady:
