We didn't get much sleep last night because there was a train passing every 30 minutes....Our tents were positioned in a corn field and we startled a couple of farmers who were getting ready to go to work in the morning....They were a little hesitant to approach two men sporting spandex...but we managed to explain to them what exactly we were doing to ensure they didn't feel threatened. 昨晚我们睡的不好,因为每30分钟有辆火车经过...我们在一块玉米地安营扎寨,一大早还吓着了一对正要去干活的农夫...他们看着两个穿着Spandex纤维运动装的人,犹豫着该不该过去...我们就尽力解释我们在干什么,好让他们别觉得害怕。 We did a lot of climbing. The first part of our day was climbing for 30 km and we reached an elevation of 2351 meters. We took a moment to enjoy the landscape and then we ventured down into a town called Longde. 今天我们爬了很多山坡,第一段的30公里就是个大坡,我们到达了海拔2351米的地方。我们欣赏了一会儿风景就冲向了一个叫“隆德”的小镇。 We went through many villages thoughout this mountain stage and handed out equipment to many children and youth. We always make an effort to demonstrate some skills, introduce some games and play with the kids. It is very difficult for the children in this region to obtain any equipment so they are very thankful to receive the opportunity to play. 这一段的山路我们见过了很多村庄,给很多孩子和年轻人送出了很多装备。我们总是尝试着给他们演示一些技巧、介绍一些游戏,并且尽量和孩子们一起玩玩。这里的孩子们很难得到这样的体育器材,所以在收到器材后非常感激。 The most comical moment of the day was when we stopped at a village before lunch. We met a few children and they were accompanied by a few adults. There was an elderly women who was determined to get a ball for one of her grandchildren; however, we are usually hesitant to handout equipment when the child is not present...Then all of a sudden she decided to take a ball and attempt to run up the hill....It was a similar to the scene in the movie "Happy Gilmore" when "Shooter McGavin" attempted to run for the hills with Mr.Gilmore's gold jacket, but didn't get very far...The elderly women started running uphill and was holding onto the ball a little too tight and it fell out of her hands and rolled right back down the hill right into my hands...In the end the kids escorted us into the village to ensure her grandchildren were not forgotten.... 今天最滑稽的一幕出现在午饭时分,在一个村庄前。我们遇见几个孩子,他们有大人陪着。其中有个上年纪的奶奶坚持要给他的孙儿要一个球;而我们对她的话有些吃不准,因为他孙儿不在这里...于是她突然抢了一个球就往上跑...这很像电影“Happy Gilmore”里的一个场景:枪手McGavin抢着Gilmore的黄夹克想跑上山,却没跑太远...因为老奶奶上坡时可能把球抱得太紧,球反而掉了下来,顺着山坡又滚到了我手里...最后孩子们和我们一起进了村,去确认她的孙子没有被我们遗漏... We worked hard today and we are spending the night 20 km passed Jing Ning. We found a better spot to setup camp and we are going to need our rest for another day of hills tomorrow.... 今天很辛苦,我们夜行军20公里过了静宁,找到一个比较好的地方宿营,我们需要多休息一天为明天的山地做准备...

I can just see grandma rushing off with her ball--- and then to see it roll off down the hill! Harsh! Glad you have found some good Chinese food. We are eating very well in Montreal.. What an amazing city .

It was similar to somebody running towards the endzone and then fumbling the ball...J'espere que tu practiques ton francais. Bonne voyage!
