12/26/15 - Lijiang
Literally could not sleep in this morning bc the view from my hotel room was so fantastic - so I jumped out of bed and grabbed my camera to photograph it (photos coming soon!!!!). After a hearty breakfast at the buffet (aka plates of steamed red bean buns, buckwheat pancakes, fruit, fried dough sticks and soymilk), we headed out to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The sight was aMAzing - I felt compelled to snap a photo every five seconds, but I had to force myself to put down my camera bc viewing it with my naked eyes was truly magical. The sounds of the rushing water current, for some strange reason, were so soothing to me. Soon after, tour groups started flooding in so we fled.
The car ride back took about two hours, so I decided to finally finish listening to The Secret. And boy, was it good. As I slowly dozed off to the calming voice, I felt this sort of energy multiply inside of me. I can’t explain this feeling, but I feel SO good - is this happiness?
When we got back to the hotel, we were starving so we went straight to our hotel’s lounge and ate plates after plates of snacks (vegan ofc). I brought my laptop so I could edit and organize my photos and catch up on some Youtube videos.
Right after the sun set, I ran out with my camera to catch a few shots of the twinkling lights. It was beautiful.
Feelin so great today. I love it.
