Birthday

For those who don’t know, Ellen just had a birthday. When I asked her if she was going to take it easy that day, she said “No, I’m riding. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” That’s Ellen for you.

She rode about 90 kms today in the blazing hot heat of Inner Mongolia. She said the heat was brutal, but thankfully the road was flat as a pancake and there was a bit of a tailwind. She is now in Song Yuan.

    Yeah, so in SongYuan I found myself in this BathHouse/BingGuan.

    Dog meat restaurants everywhere.

    So, this girl attendant tells me she wants to be my friend. Let me remind you – this is all in Chinese. She speaks no English.

    Okay, so for the past 3 weeks or so I’ve been getting texts from her. The past week she asked if she could borrow money. What? I talked to her twice.

    Weird.
