Traveling to Guilin: Natalia's Blog!

I woke up at 4:00 this morning. I had said goodbye to my host sister the night before. My host mother and father woke up at the same time to say goodbye. My host father drove me to the school where I was reunited with the rest of the group. We arrived at the airport at 6 and rushed our gate for a 6:25 flight. Thankfully we make the plane in time! The plane ride was short and sweet. When we got off at 10:30, we had an early lunch at KFC. After lunch we took a 2 and a half hour van ride to a small mountainous village in Guilin. There, we boarded another bus and drove up a mountain to see the rice terraces. Unfortunately the rice had been harvested already but, the carved mountain side was still beautiful and picture worthy. After seeing the rice terraces, we took a 3 hour van ride to the city of Guilin. We arrived at 6 pm and went to eat dinner first. Dinner was great. We were also really hungry due to eating such an early "lunch". We went to our hotel after dinner. The room is clean and spacious and there is a great bathroom with regular toilets. Now we are in a study hall catching up on all the homework we missed while will our home stays.   We will see you 3 more days!
