If it is Tuesday, it must be somewhere in China


The had drums and dancers to welcome us on board the ship. Poor guy was so hot in that costume.
This is the Heritage Park fashioned after the Polynesian Village is Hawaii. The Chinese consulted with BYU as they wanted to have a place showing all the ethnic groups that make up China. We did not really get to see it as it was closed in Memorial of the Earthquake victims. They did prepare a wonderful dinner for us, but no entertainment for three days of mourning to be observed.

taking a short break. Those things hanging around the neck are passport and ID in Case we forgot who we are or got ourselves lost. ;+)
I think this is the Viking School, the ship supports the school. It was pouring rain and very difficult to get pictures.

More fun and more steps. Loved all of China

I think this is the one at the Viking School. The Viking River Cruise Ships support this school. It was pouring rain and very difficult to take pictures.

Lets try somemore pictures. This blog is still a mystery

This is our suite on the ship as we traveled up the Yangtze River. DO NOT DRINK The Water. Was the rule of survival. You do not brush your teeth, keep your mouth closed when you shower, only drink what you buy on the bus or is provided in sealed bottles on the ship. No tap water ever, or you will be very, very sorry.
We just learned to carry the bottle with us everywhere we traveled.
