Starr Hey Pam, Awesome pic's..are you liking the food???Joe and I have benn in French St. Martin since Oct 1st, leaving on the 15th. Weather is great, very hot...water awesome! Have fun!

Debra Pam, welcome back and thanks for thr enjoyment of this journal. The Great Wall, oh my goodness...thanks too for sharing the positive feedback about our country abroad- the perfect ending to your journey! Deb

mike The great wall looks amazing. Games trying to get out....

Cathy Pam, Be very careful of those shrimp dumplings.....remember my story? What an amazing place.

DOUG Allright Peking Duck, in China no less. Wondering if you had checked out Tiananmen Square? Also the Forbidden City. Supposed to be hard to get in there. A picture of you doing handstands on the Great Wall would be cool. Not too many people do that, it would be unique, Have fun!

Pam Thanks everyone, sorry about the technical issues...more Wall today! 13 Monkeys, Mike???

Aunt Ginger Pam, The food and you both look great!

mike great photos Pam!

Sandi Hi Pam~ loved the new pictures...have you seen any other americans? I just wondered if others were travelling or has there been a great decrease in that what with the economic situation. You have one more week to go...what's next on the agenda? xoxoSandi

Mike It's so sad and very upsetting...those poor chickens. Sentenced to a life of wheel chairs and (hopefully) handicap accessible hen houses. All for a "Delicasy." We should start a fund and help these poor crippled creatures. Or at least wear a ribbon to show solidarity. Yeah! I wonder what color is available? I don't think that whole "Lets put a stop to Irriatable bowel syndrome" thing ever took off, so brown is probably available. I've got my brown ribbon.."Stop the merciless maiming." We can get Sally Struthers, "A small contribution of $3.00 can buy almost two 'Chicken Chairs.' Oh-oh.....here come the orderlies, I have to go. zài jiàn ！

Sandi Hi Pam...happy Monday!!! I know part of the experience is to eat the local cuisine but honestly, some of it just looks to funky for me...think I'll stick to our salads & tuna~ Miss you but hoping you are having a wonderful time!!! Stay safe and enjoy! Love ya, Sandi

Doug Wow, you're trip is almost halfway over. Time must be flying. Xiamen supposed to be an excellent place for seafood. Abalone is supposed to be very good there! Are the Chinese crazy party people? Starting to cool down here a bit. Maybe you can get some some rare pearls there at a decent price also. Best of luck!

Janet Pam - It seems like you have been away for A YEAR!! Anyway, I'm glad you are seeing China, even though your original plan has been altered. The photos are really great. Keep 'em coming and more frequent.

Sally & Steve Great adventures Pam. We are both very jealous. Closing went well today. Got a big fat check from the lawyer.Champagne tonight. New owners seemed very nice and excited about the house.Signed P & S last night and gave check to Dianne. Everything seems O.K for that right now.Cottage is great, pets seem to be adjusting.Finally a weekend to relax but supposed to get lots of rain. Hope you can explore more of China, try the casinos in Macao. Thanks for everything.. Sally & Steve

Megan Amazing pics! Keep em coming...I have shared your travel site with some friends and they are loving it as well. Chicken feet? Yikes, you are brave...
