Well, after visiting the Shanghai Exhibit in San Francisco, Shanghai's sister city, I got nostalgic and decided to return to Shanghai for a week in May.

glad to hear from you
Hilary, So good to hear from you--you jet-setter!! Are you ever in one place for more than 2 weeks? It is fun to travel with you to all the places you go. It seems you go from vacation to vacation. Let's keep it up (with me on your shoulders). Your comments are really interesting. Are you thinking of coming to the OHA annual meeting in the fall? It would be fun to see you once again. Congrats to the father and mother and grandmother of the new addition. Being a grand parent is the dividend we get for having children. Cordially, Betty

I admire your energy!
Hilary, Yes it is lovely to return to a place one has lived for several months. I always felt that way upon returning to Paris - havent' been now for more than a year - last time was January 2009 on my way back from Moscow and St Petersburg. Have a lot going on in New York now so not sure when I will get to my favorite city after NY. WIth all best wishes for your coming grandchild. Laurie
