Communal feasting in T land..

We had the rare opportunity to visit a village of the Miao minority group

 up in the mountains of Yunnan, China

last weekend.. 

The road was narrow, winding and the rain 

made the journey a treacherous one..

but once we were up there,

we were treated to a spectacular view of the village and the mountains afar.

The villagers prepared lunch for us

which was served at the back of the church

while they waited with much anticipation ...

The people were friendly and warm and yes happy!

And as we descended......

the beauty of this village will always remain 

for it was not just the beauty of the rustic mud houses and tiled roofs

but the inner beauty in these individuals...

Simple Abundance.... (that's what this is all about)

and we will surely return.....

Happy Tea Tuesday everyone!!
