The previous weekend, Bill and I went up to Purple Mountain.
It is a large hill in the north east corner of Nanjing. There are a number of historical sites at the base of the mountain including some Ming ruins. However, for our first adventure to Purple Mountain, Bill and I chose to ride the cable car to the top of the mountain and wonder aimlessly (another words, we couldn’t read the signs and ended up on the wrong trail.) The weather was hot and the humidity was high so the haze was like a white out. The cable car was interesting and a little scary. The longest freaking cable car I have ever seen. We rode up and we rode down. We sweated. We enjoyed the sites and we went to lunch. Indian Food. Another perfect afternoon in the Land of Soulshine.
