Stayed in Shanghai last night and drove to a town called Suzhou today. They call this town the little river town. It reminds me of San Antonio. Now that Rene and Lynn are gone I rarely hear English. Ate traditional southern Chinese food tonight. Don't ask me what it is. It's 10:00 PM at night and time for bed. Room is slightly different tonight.

Hi Todd, I'm feeling sorry for you. It is a long trip. I hope things go well. Lorene and I both thought of your ride home in coach after being in the little cigar plane on the way home. We were FREEZING. I remember you said you were cold on the way too. 2 hours of freezing was bad enough...don't know how we could manage over 13 hours! We got a call from willow pt. our storage shed was damaged a tree fell through the roof. Searcys had a large tree that went down and split their boat in half. Craig is heading to Big Sandy today so I told him to ck on both places. lost 3lbs! Lynn
Dang...found over 600 RMB's after I washed clothes!

Hey Todd,
Glad to see you are still blogging. It is nice to have the Czech chicks back...hope the rest of your stay goes fast for you!! I'll keep you posted on any late night activity LOL!! SD;-)
Maybe no more english NOR czech chicks cackling.
Hi, Todd,
We enjoyed your boys. They were good company. They were very polite and respectful. Eddie and Sammy were delighted to have company and kept some very late hours. We missed out on much of the blog as our internet was down because of some problem in Ceresco. Even today it was on and off. Take care! I can't imagine being in a foreign country and having no one to converse with.

I'm not too happy, Lynn lost 2 lbs, I gained 2 lbs! Wonder what you'll do?
Rene
I'm really messed up! I've been up since 2:30AM!
Frustrating!
