There are four rock climbing shops in Yangshuo, and after having some store owners laugh and say no way when I asked if they had my size shoes for sale, I found som
e at the last shop I stopped at. My room for bargaining for them was none since they knew that I couldn't find my size anywhere, and that I didn't want to order any since I wouldn't be able to try them on first. So, here are my new shoes, light blue with neon green laces. They're super retro looking, but I actually kind of like them. They're only last year's stock, so they were obviously made this way and not just pulled out of the time drawer from a 1980's rock climbing box.

I was with Francisco, Jon, and Justin. The routes today were super hard, a 5.1
0D and 5.11-way over my head, which is the reason I didn't finish either one. But I still got some practice in, learned some techniques, and learned and actually belayed Fran and Justin. Here are a couple pictures of Jon. These show a little more of the aspect as to how high it is. You'll definitely need to click and enlarge in order to find him on the wall.

Also, another picture of just the surrounding countryside.

Okay Ton, enough is enough on the rock climbing. And- those shoes are really cute and colorful. Be sure to bring them home. Be glad they are not my size or I would probably take them away from you. I enjoyed our visiting again last Saturday night. I almost missed you. I was getting ready to go home. We played ball all day Saturday - James in Marshall and Austin - Bulldogs, in a tournament in Elysian Fields.
