home again Great adventure as only you can do. Hope you have no culture shock as you reenter the Western world. Do you have any plans to be in or near Chicago this summer? Have a safe ride home.

Weekend sounds great! What a beautiful spot! Especially in such a densely populated country. And your description of the people is fascinating. Bravo to these pioneering folks willing to take on life in such a "different" country.
Hope to see you during the few days you'll be back here in July. Ahmet arrives tonight, for all of July, then we're off to Turkey for August. Am enjoying my recuperation and my new hip. Dick got his new knee yesterday, is doing well.
The test worked, in that I went to your "test" mail and then clicked "previous."

Bravo pour tout cela ! Tes photos me rappellent mon passage éclair dans cette ville et une promenade en bateau encore plus éclair. Tu sembles en forme... Continue bien et au mois de juillet. Je t'embrasse. Annick
Children The Same The World Over Thank you, Hilary, for sharing your joy -and sadness- of working with the orphans in China during your stay. It is lovely to read your captions of "little friend." As a teacher who works with children, my students, however, on the other end of the spectrum in that they are among the most privileged, I know how delightful it is to connect with children of all ages. Their trust and love are true gifts for those of us who are the "privileged ones" to live among and share with the children of the world.
Thank you again, Hilary, for sharing the experience.

Very much enjoyed yet another one of your blog entries....Those mountains and the river areincredible...They look like many Chinese brush paintings I've seen.
Yes, I agree with your other friend's comments...Thanks for your photos and travelog. . .For those of us living our everyday life it's nice to have a window on the world through your eyes. Thanks again!
Hilary, thanks for the terrific photos. I too am in awe at your adventuresome spirit and am participating vicariously. I meant to say "félicitations" for your son's wedding too - you were so close and now so far...up and away!
thanks for the trip Hilary,
I travel on your trip with you each time you send an email with pics. They are wonderful. What a great experience even if you have had some small inconvenience. Stay well.
Betty
Trip Wonderful, wonderful pictures. You were truly in a different world that not many people have seen. It was a priviledge and thanks for sharing. The air looks so pristine too...hope you all are fully recvoered and feeling well now too.
TIBET! Breathtaking! I continue to be in awe of your adventurous spirit... and of course insanely jealous of your travels.... as well as very grateful to you for sharing your experiences!
Thank you!

Have you been to the Union Restaurant It has been there forever. My friend took me there. It was the best food that I had in Shanghai. It is in the French concession. It looks like you are having a wonderful time.
TIBET! Of course! How wonderful! You must be one of the world's BEST travellers! Can't wait to hear all about it; can't wait for photos!
Bon Voyage!
Hugs,
Elaine
