I found a big tour group of Israelis... age 50-75 and I traveled with them for a few days.
They were on a pre-paid scheduled tour of China, and I was their adopted daughter. We were on the same path, and so they just kept inviting me to more and more places. My Hebrew improved, and I was with a dozen parents who kept me fed and happy. They wanted wanted me in all the pictures, and even gave me a theme song! I cried so hard when we left each other (I was off to Chengdu, and they were going to Kunming)

These are pictures of:
-The Tiger Leaping Gorge
-Lijiang
-Shangri-La (where I had a fill of yam butter, yam milk, yam yogurt, yam meat)
-Do you know where sunflower seeds come from?

Your back!
Stay away from octopuses. They can really suck your blood, as I can see from your back. No more deep sea diving for you without a wet suit. (only kidding). Sending lots of love and many big hugs. Papa Bear
