中国 - 第三天(我在中国卫浴第一) China -- Day 3 (using a Chinese Bathroom)

August 5, 2010, Anshan, China.

Carry toilet paper.  What ever you do.  When you travel in China, you should carry a small supply of toilet paper.  Fortunately, my friend's father, had a small amount which he generously split with me.  So I had about a 2 inch square of paper to do my duty.   Always good.

Bandelier National Monument, near Española, NM

Bandelier National Monument was an interesting place -- a site of ancient ruins from the original Pueblo people. We took the short loop around.
