The winter is ending here and the buds are appearing on the trees (we are even getting temperatures in the 60s some days!)...we hate to see the snow go, but we have to say we are looking forward to lovely spring!

Happy Lunar New Year

Yes, this is coming a little late for those of you in the know...but we still would like to share these unbelievable pictures from Chongqing and Shanghai...China is truly the most foreign place we have been so far!

These lights are only on during the New Year celebration because of the energy crisis in China even the biggest cities (Chongqing is the most populated 33 million) do not have building lights on at night...it is really spooky coming into a large city where there are no lights on the buildings...the streets are still lit though, so the lack of structural light doesn't slow the party goers in Shanghai!

Here we are in Shanghai on a popular shopping street Nanjing Dong Lu.
