October 19th
145km (1,155m vertical)
Long day today. The 8 hours we spent on the road felt like an eternity. There was a mountain pass in the morning, but it was merely a prelude to the real pass we'll cross on our way out of Wuwei.
The temperature dropped to 37F last night and I was cold. Glad that we'll be staying in hotels for the rest of the trip. We did warm up once the sun hit us, and the afternoon felt like any crisp autumn day back home.
No luck ordering dinner tonight. We got a huge plate of potatoes and chicken...a whole chicken that had been chopped crudely and served completely (bones, feet, head and all).
Nothing exceptional to photograph today. The Arabic on the street signs has disappeared and been replaced by English...sort of:
