Big Dam

Checked out the Three Gorges Dam yesterday--one huge project. Returning to the bus station in the evening, hoping to catch a bus back to Yichang, we found the station closed. For a moment it looked like we might be spending the night in the small town by the dam until suddenly our driver reappeared and took us to an apparently alternate bus station. At an additional cost, of course. Today we board a boat which will take us upstream for a few days to Chongqing.
