She REALLY Wanted to Come

My dog Mimi wanted to make sure I didn't return to America without her, so she got in my suitcase when I was packing in early October.

She may be reconsidering her decision. The trip was pretty rough on her. Her first few days in America, she was sick. In fact, her health is not totally normal yet. But I am SURE she is glad to be near me. She won't leave my sight. She's going to be just fine.

Shanghai Photo

Hi. Here is a photo of the Huangpu River in Shanghai. For those who know Shanghai, I'm taking the photo from the Pudong side of the river looking over towards the Bund side. To be precise, I'm taking the photo from The San Francisco Steakhouse. If you've never been to Shanghai, you'd probably be shocked to realize that it is not quite as Chinese as you might have expected.

The big boat in the middle of the photo has a huge digital video screen that plays advertising commercials as the boat goes up and down the river. I took this photo in mid-October, but couldn't download it until now because I didn't have broadband service until this week. I'll try to post more China photos soon...even though I am not in China now.
