Pictures of our travel fun.

Each day we would walk to a new China experience. On this day we walked a short ways to a wonderful park...

Since we had the day to see the city so we went to another garden park (Budda) It was quite nice and had this beautiful painting of the history of Shozuo.


Doing my favorite thing, talking and acting in English to the people on the street to find what I am looking for. I am amazed at how many people we have been able to help us. This group actually took use back across the bridge to this place. We bought tickets for the next day.
The bike that took us to a place to find a bus for a trip. This is the one that we nearly ruined his tires with our weight.
Discovering what we call New World shopping center in Jinan, small shops with everything half the prices.

Jay reading in our apt. in Shozuo = it is in the English style as is the whole hostel.

opening the door and walking into the apt.


Women cleaning clothes and veg. at the city well.
lovely garden that goes on forever
boat ride, leaving dock
we stayed in the old town that was had cannals running every direction
where you can come and get water from the well on our street
I need my pocket sewn and this lady had a little shop on the canal to do it.
We saw a lot of work going into fixing up the old part of town, that was exciting to watch. Instead of knocking down the old buildings and putting up sky scrapers they were trying to re-fix the wonderful old parts of the town.
