The Blogger Ninja

Today I was introduced to the world of web proxy ninja freedom fighters....
Yesterday my friend Scott and I took the back way up a mountain towards a lucky monastery hoping to find some dirt to put underneath our tires. Our wish was granted as pavement gave way to a muddy trail that had been cut to pieces by horses as the slipped their way up the trail. Keeping our eyes out for horses we charged up the trail only to find ourselves surrounded by farmers fields half way up the mountain with the real trail to the top no where in sight. Thinking we saw the trail threw our bikes over our shoulders and tip toed across a farmers field. On the other side we ran into a thicket of thorns and an almost vertical slope of mud and grass. Then a nice Chinese farmer came out and told us that he had been trying to get our attention for the last 30 minutes since we passed his house to tell us that we were going the wrong way. Eventually we followed his directions and found the path, it was covered in stairs so we again shouldered our bikes and hiked to the top passing Chinese tourists as they admired our bodies.(thats actually what they said, (wa they have nice bodies) but not exactly what it means)
