Days in the mountains
This WIFI connection could go off anytime (literally)… so better keep it short and simple. We have come to the mountains (Morganshan - 3 hours south west of Shanghai), an area which used to serve as summer retreats for westerners and missionaries back in the 30s! There is no phone access and we have to walk up / down the hill for everything! Even Driver Zhou, who took us here, was amazed that we could find this place (we’re staying at a retreat on the side of the mountain).
However life in the mountains is LOVELY - so nice that an expat wrote a book about it! You can hear the birds chirping away and the roosters crowing at all hours. Michael loves getting into everything and even hiked with us all the way up the mountain (but needed a piggy back on the way down!). Benjamin is oblivious too all of this – his only reaction is that he finds it too “disturbing” to his rountines. However all the boys slept well, so we can’t complain!
We also brought the whole house here – Ian and I had one travel bag and the boys had 7!!!
Gotta post this before the WIFI is gone. Love from Moganshan at 5 am when the sun is up.
