After 38 years as a Foreign Language Teacher and Foreign Language Dept. Chair at Coral Gables Sr. H.S., and A.J. Professor of German at the University of Miami, I have left Florida in June of 2006, where my home is in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. I have just signed another year's teaching-contract (my 8th year now) with Taizhou University in the city of Taizhou, located about 3hrs north of Shanghai, in Jiangsu Province, CHINA.

After an exhausting day, but filled with great views and much excitement, it is time to return to the base park of Tai Shan, where my driver will be waiting. Hope you enjoyed this days journey with me, an experience that has tested the limits of my body, but elevated my spirit.

TAI SHAN
Thank you for your excellent exposition of that fabulous mountain that is Tai Shan...and moon cakes. Entering the red gates...the first of many steps...past rocks & stelae carved with calligraphy...the feeling of the place...like Tao...cannot be defined, because it applies to everything.I hope one day to have visited all of the 5 Daoist & 5 Buddhist holy mountains...work in progress. Have you visited others?

I really enjoyed this travelblog,especially the symbolism for the "round" moon cakes and the 8 hour trip to the top-the picture where you are mopping your brow. I need time to read all the blog entries

During the time when food was scarce, a sliced wedge of mooncake brought great joy for children who were constantly in hunger. Anyway, the beautiful sky lit up by the bright moon was for every being on earth to enjoy, and the cool breeze swept away all the heat following a hot summer. You never forget that.
