Guangzhou photos

I like this picture not only for the dapper gentleman but also for the example of the enormous volume which can be carried on a bike.






A fashion photo shoot on the streets of Guangzhou






Lest one forget one is in China.....





A school. Doesn't look all that different from the previous photo.





The awesome neighborhood playground








The neighborhood playground again








The reason for the playground, spelled out in pebbles.






The koi pond at the White Swan






Self-explanatory.




I wonder if they will put the second one just across the street.





I think they are filming a movie or a commercial. I am enamored with the combination of mad scientist's white jacket plus grim reaper's scythe, plus a nail through the head. One or two of those wouldn't convey the full message.




Walking to La Dolce Vita, the Italian restaurant






One of many sculptures in Guangzhou





I'm taking a picture of a sculpture of a guy taking a picture. How clever.






Asleep on take-off






The wing of our plane from Chongqing to Guangzhou





The Air China snack. I wish I had taken a better picture. "Wrapped peanuts, Strange favor bean, and Deep fried legume." They were rather tasty and a touch spicy.




Kelly viewing her memory book of our 2005 group.






Arrival at the White Swan Hotel

Love all the pics of GZ - and look, your sidewalks are dry and clean of flooding debris. Mmmmm, bet it smells better now too! :) But I'm not bitter. Not one bit. :) :) :)

Hey, Wendy. Thanks. I put the Valentine's pics of Chloe in the book, as well as one of Macy and Chloe on the train together. I hope that's okay.
