Just Another Day In Nanjing

Sorry - no pictures today other than two of CJ and WGJ eating fruit rollups. Forgot the camera in the hotel although we did have a lovley day of sightseeing at the Mausoleum of Sun Yat San. Amazingly beautiful and here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Yat-sen_Mausoleum.  It is situated in the mountains that surround Nanjing. At this tourist site, we had a most unusual experience of having army men asking us to pose for pictures with them. Very fun and interesting.

We also made a visit to the Nanjing Museum which had some amazing brocade and jade. It also included a lesson on how to determine what Jade is high quality with frequent pop quizzes adminstered in rapid fire and without mercy. That, thankfully, was followed by a great chinese lunch and some hanging out in the hotel.

Standby for a list tomorrow of buffet items from our hotel breakfast buffet. You will not be dissappointed.

Tonight we eat at German restaurant called Paulaner. Stay tuned for gastroestinal updates as the situation warrants.
