Mom's Trip to China

Things are going good here.
China is a beautiful – even along the main roads it is like a garden – they love trees, plants, flowers and they love to light them up at night in many different colors. You can go down a main road and they have pots of small trees in them for miles down the center of the roads. Last night at supper we had 15 different dishes- all very good, and today at lunch we drove to a small Taiwan place to eat with two VP’s from I-Shen – we had 10 different dishes than two deserts, coffee and than tea. We met and toured I-Shen and than ate, we were with them for 3 1\2 hours – I was very impressed with the place.
I have tried every dish so far and have done very good with it – even the big, big chicken foot yesterday for lunch and the pig intestine last night!!! Most of the food has been very good. Jorson’s group took us out last night, tonight Edward’s group takes us out. We are going to try to get some shopping in afterward – there are blocks of shops right next to our hotel. Our hotel is in a garden, many of the trees are 100 years old – Suzhou is 2500 years old! The first president Bush stayed at our hotel.
The bathrooms in the restaurant last night and I-Shen today were squatters for the women – not good for old people!!!
Well I have a meeting now so I will talk to you later! Oh – it is 70 out today!
