early September trip to EGB

classic scenery of the province

another go at the sled

This area has been developed by Japanese investors doing all sorts of de-desertification projects. I think this particular vineyard was planted by locals, but the others we saw were planted by the foreigners. The grapes were tasty!

I'm not sure if these birds are ostriches or emus. Either way, there's an exotic bird refuge that has all kinds of crazy birds, including these guys.

Everyone who comes to plant a tree in the area gets to engrave their name on a rock on this wall. Both sides are almost completely covered already. That's a lot of people...and a lot of trees.

guess who I am
