Day 6 Wuhan
It's so humid that my camera keeps getting fogged up. Anyways, we're sailing into Wuhan today. I'm not sure what these guys were doing in the river in the 3rd photo. There were lots of large ships sailing past, I couldn't imagine they were in the water for relaxation. In the 5th photo there's lots of kites for sale on the banks and I then saw some in the sky!

Jingdezhen
1st: Someone was trying to be funny by putting his name tag on his shorts. The real funny part was the fact that this photo was the last time the name tag was seen. The next time James looked down, all that was left was a pin at the bottom of his shorts. 2nd: I was taking a photo of James, but at the same time I was documenting one of the ladies on our tour that liked to showcase her assets... 3rd: James did pretty well with the clay! He was pretending he was in the movie Ghost.

1st photo: My dad really wanted a picture with the huge ceramic vases, but each time we tried to take a photo someone would walk in the frame. I'm not sure how many tries it took, but this ended up being the best one. 2nd: hand painting designs onto the dried bowls.

Creating, perfecting, and glazing the ceramics. The almost finished pieces are then placed in the sun to dry. Little did James know that he was wearing his shirt just like the locals.
Day 5 Jingdezhen
Today we learned about the heritage of Chinese ceramics from past dynasties. We toured some ancient kilns and buildings, while enjoying the lovely forests, gardens and bamboo groves. Above, James was trying anything he could to get cool.
