My 6-month stay in Shanghai was thrilling, but one thing I really missed was "greenery" and blue skies. How wonderful it was, then, to return to the U.S. West this past summer! It's such a beautiful part of the country, as I hope the photos of landscapes I took will illustrate. You will also see some "cityscapes", as well as quite a few photos of friends and relations.

You do get around!
Hilary - an impressive journey. I followed much the samish route last May - San Diego, Phoenix, Santa Fe (via Albuquerque) but I didn't get to denver, where my last 'missing' classmate was. I am fascinated by your photos of Salt Lake City. Must visit some time. Keep posting - it's always fun to see your pictures.

What about the US folks.
Thanks for the splendid travelogue. Question though. Now back in the USA what do you make of the body politic and the public mood. Here in Manila I read the report of the massive ultra right demo of thousands against the socialism and communism of Obama. Are they really as stupid as they sound?!

Homesick
Hi Hilary, Your Oceanside beach scene make me homesick. I'll be in San Diego from Nov. 3 -26; and La Jolla from Dec. 15 - Jan. 14, 2010. Let's try to get together. The Paris Writing Group misses you. Best, Mary

US health care issue
Hi George, You bring up a good topic and I intend to address it in a future blog entry. 'Have lots of impressions of the political scene here. And the health care issue is certainly a devisive one. It seems to be a pretext for a backlash against Obama. As you know, I'm a "liberal" in the U.S. sense--maybe not so far to the left as my fellow Berkeley residents, but the SF Bay Area is certainly a place in the U.S. where I feel at home.
