Diary from China -- Friday, July 22, 2005 (day
of arrival);
Excerpted from Diary: Being in
Shanghai is delightful – I am enjoying seeing a city very different from anything
we have at home, lots of beautiful old buildings (but filled with touristy
stores!), streets bustling with bicycles, cars and buses [photo above]. Today, after lunch, four of us went to a
beautiful garden constructed 600 years ago, very historic and with many
man-made rock “mountains” and ponds [photos below].
