The first stop on our whirlwind tour was Shanghai--one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Amazing architecture, skyscraper buildings, old and new combined in a beautiful way. We visited the famous Oriental Pearl TV Tower. I had to drag Terry away from the 70th story bird's-eye view and back to ground level. He loved being up there. We visited a wonderful wax museum and art museum as well. The weather was foggy and freezing, but we managed to enjoy the peaceful Yu Gardens and Bazaar. The shopping was fun as they were preparing for the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. The last stop on the itinerary was a silk factory where we were shown how the little silk worms do their thing.....we really appreciate all the beautiful (yet strong) silk products we love.

We have been waiting for this commentary on your travels. Thanks! Good to have you back on the job!
(Believe this takes you 'over the hump' doesn't it?)

Yes, we thought maybe we should try the new life, but nah!
