Confucius and the Mountain

Today we took a bus to Qufu, an ancient city that existed since before the Han dynasty and is also the home of Confucius. It was really amazing to see such a historic city and the ancient buildings of Confucius. We also saw the graveyard and tomb of Confucius and his ancestors. I picked up a cowboy hat there for a project, I wonder what Confucius would think of that? Afterwards we took the bus to Taian where we rode a gondola to the top of the famous mountain there. There were spectacular views from all around and a nice cool breeze coming up the mountain. The climbing this time was limited but that was okay with me. The school catered a beautiful dinner once again of fish, locusts, prawns, and many other fancy dishes.
