Happy belated May Day! Niels and I are celebrating the holiday to honor the worker by vacationing in Wuhan, otherwise known as the "Furnace of China". It's currently 86 degrees out and by the end of our visit will only get hotter.

Wuhan is a beautiful, modern, clean, city with the right number of undulating hills. 

We arrived Monday evening and today is the first day we've not been on the go from the moment we wake up. We've spent most of our time reconnecting with some of the friends we made in Yichang. There aren't many tourist things to do here, but our friends have been wonderful hosts and have showed us lots gems the city has to offer its residents of the city. 

But as much as I am coming to love this city, I couldn't live here. It's just too hot.  It's the beginning of May and already feels like August in D.C., which makes me wonder how bad it gets when August arrives.

I will write more upon return to Zhengzhou, when the countdown to my return to the States begins.
