We've got a storm coming in, which may delay the start of our cross-China ride by another day or two.   Evidently, storms in Chongqing are enough to get everybody's attention.   Chongqing had a significant storm just prior to our arrival (Fan showed us photos he took on his iPhone of the flooding in Chongqing).  Joe and I are hanging out in the hotel until we know.  We may visit a Harley and Ducati dealer here in Chongqing today.

All of this is okay by me.  I could spend a few weeks just in Chongqing...the photo ops, the food, and the people are that great.

Everything but the kitchen sink....

A scene from our hot pot dinner buffet last night. This is real Indiana Jones stuff, boys and girls...

Joe Gresh with Shiyar at a Chongqing motorcycle tea house last night...an amazing evening!

I've got another hour and a half before the guys from Zongshen pick us up.  It's back to writing Riding China for me.   We haven't even left Chongqing yet, and I've got a ton of stories to tell you about this trip.   Grand fun, grand times, and the adventure of a lifetime.   Gresh is loving it, too.   Later, folks!
