Hi, Scott and I are in China on the Victoria Katarina sailing on the Yangtze River. We're having a wonderful time! The boat is beautiful. Its the Victoria Katarina. We're both looking forward to the three days at sea. Today, before we boarded the boat we went to the zoo and saw 5 pandas and two tigers. They were wonderful. Scott and our friends got a foot massage and loved it. I had one a few days ago with them and decided I'd rather take their pictures while they had the massage and read my book. We had to Sichwan meals, lunch and dinner, and they were very good too. Sunday brunch was at the Mariott hotel, and 5 star. A great buffet. We are amazed at the value of this tour. China is a real bargain. We're getting shore excursions tomorrow, seeing a Pagoda. There is a Tai Chi lesson in the morning too. We have HBO in the room and we're listening to CNN about the Pope's passing away. There is this internet on the boat, but its real slow. However, I'm happy to be able to use it. Haven't found any chips here, but will keep looking. We are collecting some room keys however! Hope to see many of you at convention! A special "hello" to Jim Follis!
