Some of our delightful traveling companions (Samuel, Linda, Sophie).Sophie (Yoyo) is our travel guide, Marvin's, daughter and our newly adopted niece. She looks like Lucy (only Chinese).....hahaha....you should see their pictures together and their mannerisms are amazingly similar. She is DARLING.
The Yangtze River is the longest river in China and the third longest in the world. The three gorges (Qutang, Wu and Xiling) are regarded as some of the most spectacular scenery attractions in all of China. The Qutang Gorge is magnificent and precipitous, the Wu Gorge is deep and beautiful and the Xiling Gorge has rapids and many rocks. The water in the Mini Three Gorges is clean and both banks are blanketed by trees and many historical sites, scenic spots and lovely legends. The Three Gorges Dam has just been completed and our tour ended at the dam.
Our river cruise began in the city of Chongqing, the largest city in China--about 32 million strong! It is called the "Mountain city." We saw a bit of the city the first day and it was lovely--rivers, mountains, small villages. What a great place. We visited an ancient town, The Stilwell War Museum and the Three Gorges Dam Museum. All very fascinating.

Little Sophie is a doll.
You will have to write a sequell to Dr. Zeuse "Oh the thinks you can think".... Oh the sights you can see, the things you can feel, and the beauties you can almost absorb.........
(I know I spelled the Dr's name wrong... but I don't want to go and look it up....sorry :)
