We cruised down the yangtze for three days. it was a little like dirty dancing only without the dancing part. we had an odd cruise director named Christof. He came to here from Germany 27 years ago and never left. He is about 5 feet tall and has a nice little mole on his nose. And, he loved Aiden, who got to go meet the captain privately and see the wheel house.
Early morning starts with afternoon naps and mai tais at four make it the most relaxing three days of our journey. Plus they did all our meals for us so we didn't have to try to decipher any menus.
We cruised thru the locks from the Three Gorges Dam. Man, do they need the power. When you see the country you can understand why they are doing the project. Shanghai needs most of the power they generate just to keep their neon working. Got some great shots. Seems like it is daylight in the night there are so many lights. The temperature gauge in the town square didn't dip below 29 for our entire time. We thought it might be broken, because with the humidity it didn't seem hotter than 35 or 37.
Drove the Hangzhoug and found a Starbuck right by our hotel. Must be closer to home. We all gave a little cheer when we noticed it, because they have nice potties as well as great smoothies.
see you all on sunday.

Just wondering will the slide show be conducted in 2 or 3 sessions? Will refreshments be served?
Have you already developed your narrative for each slide or would you like a professional book person to help? Please let me know if i can be of any further assistance!!!:)
