For the tail end of our National Holiday, a group of us went to explore the outskirts of Beijing. Long story short, we couldn't get to the village we wanted to, but we DID end up in the best cave I've ever been in!
We were literally the only visitors in this cave, there was a river ride included in the cave tour, and finally and most importantly.....no bats for me!!!! It was great.
Outside the cave, there were quite a few old ladies trying to sell us their "hamburger fruit". Becca tried it and the consensus was that it was just average tasting. It hangs all over the trees though. We could have picked our own, had we wanted.
Sometimes its just plain old nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Beijing and enjoy the greenery and fresh air God has graced us with.

We did get a police escort out of this little village, because no one had the proper paper work to house foreigners for the night. We were planning on staying the night, but being the only white people in this extremely small village, the police found us (and followed us) really fast! Oh, the joys of living in China.
