Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting...

I can't believe it has been so long since I updated the blog. Well, here is the most important piece of news, during late May and early June Molly and I spent 2 weeks touring China! It was incredible. There was so much history and culture to see. So many awesome pictures that I'll only have space to share a few. I'll try to go in order of where we went.

First up: Shanghai

Walking through the streets near the Yu Gardens.

Molly and I on our last night in China. Rooftop dining in Hong Kong.

I took almost all of these pictures with my new Canon XS Digital SLR camera. I am not the greatest photographer in the world, but I think some of these came out really well, and the small size on the blog doesn't really do them justice.

All in all, the trip was great. Definitely a once in a lifetime type of trip. I don't think Molly or I plan on going back, but we were happy we went, and glad to get home to better air conditioning and drinkable water from the tap.
