Last week, my coworkers and I took thirty-three 10 and 11 year olds into the mountains for three days of hiking and team building. It was an amazing success - fun for students and teachers alike. Unfortunately, for obvious privacy reasons, I can't share any photos of my kiddos doing any of the awesome activities that they did - - I can, however, share some of the surprising beauty hidden only an hour drive away from Qingdao.
