Snow!!!!

Tonight marks a big night for me!  My first snow ball fight....It started snowing tonight and it has actually stuck to the ground and piled an inch onto cars.  Walking out of the restaurant tonight of course we had to attack each other and so we ended up in a snowball fight and I almost got knocked out by an elbow.  Then we saw chinese people in a snowball fight so we of course had to attack him too.

Day 2 at the park

Day 2 was a much nicer day from the start.  Unfortunately we decided to take the elevator up the mountain and ended up in a two hour line...which  I call a China style line...that means all bets are off elbows are out and you get to spend the entire time jammed into a mob of people that push and shove you no matter the age  of the person.  The elevator was an interesting experience however not really worth the wait.  

View at the top of the elevator and from the elevator

Avatar mountains 

The mountain that was the inspiration of Avatars mountains Hallelujah Mountain 

panaramic of the mountains 

Awesome!

The great natural stone bridge...largest natural bridge in China!

Almost walked right by this beautiful thing because people were blocking the view!!! So amazing!

The bridge!

The view from the bridge area

These locks were all over the railings here.  Some were placed for love some were placed for family , some for wealth, really  cool 

Beautiful view point

Walking on  slightly hidden path and this was the view...I think this was the best view

I kept expecting a dragon to fly out of the mountain.  They were so mystical looking.

We think it was a tomb

amazing views

so pretty the view from the hidden staircase

The pictures got a little out of order but the second day had the best views it was really amazing to see all of those mountains.  They were very mystical and I can see how they inspired the scenes from Avatar.
