We have settled in here... We feel comfortable in a city of millions, lost in a sea of black hair, streaming along city streets to the tune of bicycle bells and honking horns. The strange nooks and greasy crannies of old Beijing are well known by our cameras and palettes.
So now we are packing our bags, bidding friends farewell, baking a large batch of granola for the road, and heading north and west, away from the crowded city to Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Hohhot marks the beginning of the Zhaohe grasslands, a vast ocean of green in the summer, and coooooold spot for half the year (including now:). Hohhot means Blue City--the color blue, in Mongolian culture is said to represent the blue sky, eternity and purity.
What awaits us? This is what we would like to find out. Check back in soon for stories of our adventure:)
