THE RED DOTS ON THE MAP ABOVE, INDICATE POINTS FROM WHICH WE SET UP OUR BASE ( HOTEL CITIES) AND FANNED OUT FOR DAY TRIPS
-
We started south...staying in Hong Kong
-
Next we headed onto Beijing and the GREAT WALL
-
Xi’an and the Terracotta Warriors was next on the itinerary
-
Chengdu and the Panda Breeding Center followed
-
Then a visit to Kunming where my son Bryan was in school
-
Back to Hong Kong for a day before flying back home.
Three weeks of Chinese food and adventure and we still hated to return home so early. Our dogs missed us and I missed “Western” toilets so we needed to get back to reality.....and I was actually getting antsy to work on some pendants and jewelry while I was away
Inspiration was everywhere and I have thousands of photos and notebooks full of ideas and memories to keep my muse happy for quite some time to come.
