Our trip was spectacular! China is exciting, exotic, and entertaining. Our timing placed us there immediately following the 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China - a National Day Celebration. Wherever we went we saw evidence of the party that China threw itself the first week of October. Banners, flowers, street streamers, and special exhibits.
The weather also cooperated with clear skies and pleasant temperatures.
Lisa, was our tour guide who shepherded 21 tourists around to four different regions of her homeland. She referred to us as her "happy family" and urged us to be like "sticky rice". Our diverse, yet all-American group made it all the more enjoyable as we laughed and practiced our daily Chinese lessons on each other.

All for now. As always we are glad to have gone and happy to return.
