Bad health or not, it felt good to be out on the road again.

The earth was beaming with sunlight:

And I had my 月饼 (moon cake):

Yummy!!

I was about to take a shortcut at some point, but these friendly Uighur folks came running across the street to warn me that I was going in the wrong direction:

Thank you, Mehmet!

Besides that, it was mostly just quiet walking.

I was passed by what seemed like at least a dozen trucks full of 武警 (armed police) once:

They can be described as a branch of the military that is responsible for homeland security:

We all feel pretty safe now, don’t we?

I stopped to buy a nice seedless watermelon somewhere:

Then I carried it to a little guesthouse in the next settlement.
I got a room, spread my bamboo mat on the bed, put the watermelon on a plastic bag and sat down:

Then I fell asleep.
