Well actually, Gui Lin’s bike trails + 1 hour bike ride + rain = muddy Jessie, but I think my title is a good summery.  Wednesday we all woke up and were given a choice to bike ride to an ancient bridge or take the bus.  Though it was drizzling out side the bike ride through the mountains was too much to turn down.  So our whole family pulled on our raincoats and set off.  When we got to the bridge we took some pics and a jump in the river to wash off the mud on my legs was too much to resist 🙂 .  After lunch and all, it was time to head home, but because of an unfortunate turn of events the bike riders (which was our whole family, excepting Mom, Maddie, Rachel, and Megan who fit their bike in the bus, and some friends) had to wait.  By the time it was time to go we new it would be dark before we reached our hotel again.  Because of the bike ride here my raincoat got mud inside so I decided not to wear one on the way back. The way back… ughhhhh!!!  Well, the group that I was biking with kind of got lost a little so that added more time for mud to splating on my (well Rachel’s) sweat shirt.    It had been raining all day so there were HUGE potholes and puddles every where… you can imagine what the bike seat did to me after that! Also I was COVERED in mud when I got home because the bikes we used had no tire guards.  Well as tiring and a bit frustrating that the bike ride back was, it was a GREAT adventure and a memory that I will remember forever!This is the front of me after the bike ride… maybe it’s not as muddy as I made it out to be…

This is my back.
