Today I received a kind message from Christine~she was wondering if I had returned from China. Well, yes , I am home again and things are almost back to normal. I have missed my blogging friends ~it's going to take me weeks to catch up on all your past posts, but I will certainly put forth the effort. I love reading the blogs~it is nice to be back!
China was incredible........the smells, the myrid of new sights, the foods - a few I could not recognize or get near........that's the beauty of traveling and being a tourist, you are exposed to so many different cultures and you realize firsthand how others do differently what we believe is the"right and only way"...........I will give a preview of things you may recognize, just with a different look..........I may think again about eating duck.........The market photos were shot from one of the relocated villages along the Yangtze River. This town will remain safe from the controversial Three Gorges Dam project that is submerging so many towns and villages along the river bank.

Jann, I am glad you are back. I missed your blogging! :)
Welcome back. Great pics! We just returned from 3 weeks away and I've just started reading my regular blogs, can't get my head around writing on mine yet. Look forward to reading your about your travels in China soon.
Welcome back! I can't wait to hear (and see) all about your trip! And the food. One of the things that intrigues (and scares me) about travel to China is the food!
Looking forward to hearing more about your trip. China is at the very top of my travel wish list right now.
I was delighted to see you were back, Jann. I did not travel much this summer, but I thought of you when I did and looked for "food cards" in museum shops to send you! The pickings are slim up here.
Your photos are lovely and I am really looking forward to reading more about your trip.
We won;t be traveling for another year, so I will do so vicariously until then.

Incredible photos! Oh the sights and aromas you must have encountered - can't wait to hear all about it!
Welcome back!
The last photo reminds me of London: my first trip there was my first contact with Chinese food. The thing I remember most vividly is the smell of roast duck.
I am glad you had a great trip.
I was so excited to get your comment! Welcome home. Ha, yes duck! Wonderful pictures. It is so good to see other ways, different and often just as right as our right way!
Welcome back, Jann! Your pictures are so intriquing, and I can't wait to hear more about your experiences!

Welcome back, Jann. You've been sorely missed!
I'm devouring your posts, and the photos - in a word, exquisite!
How exotic all of this looks! It sounds like you have had some exciting travels. I'm going to add you to Google Reader so I will keep up better...
It looks like you really had a great time. I spent years in China, I lived in Beijing and adopted Chinese eating habits. When I went back to the States, I really missed Chinese food! It is very rare I can ever get anything even similar.
