Today was another wonderful day. We spent Sunday, July 15th traveling to Zhen Jiang, located on the Yangtze River, considered by many the most beautiful city in China. Zhen Jiang was where many of the emperors vacationed and has only been open to the public since 1991. We were treated to a boat tour of the grounds, a wonderful lunch, a leisurely stroll in the nearby gardens, and a tour of Mount Jinshan, a very sacred shrine of the Tang Buddhist friar Pei Dung.

Once again our Chinese friends took us by the hand to show us a wonderful time. Our hotel staff, Shu Ren friends and everyone we meet on the street and in the stores are so friendly and helpful. On three occasions during our Sunday outing, I was greeted by Chinese people (young and old) and asked to pose for pictures.

I continue to be very pleased to be part of this life-changing adventure.
