A very quick update from my phone. The children broke up this afternoon for Easter/Spring Break.
It was drizzling today and I have a bit of a sniffle so decided it was best not to go to my usual spinning session. I played horn and piano for a bit and then went to the China Art Museum. I really enjoyed it when I took James and Laura, but wanted to go back and spend a little more time as I had a whistle-stop tour with them. It is a massive building, I can't remember how many floors, 5? maybe 7? I did the first two floors fairly thoroughly and just as I was starting to reach my limit (3 hours!) about 10 busloads of very noisy schoolchildren arrived in a very short space of time which made my mind up for me and I left.
Here are my favourite pictures from the day:
Funky building

Suzhou, early 1900sThis one was entitled 'Ark of Jews'.
Shanghai took in many Jews who had fled other countries.

Before I went round the museum I stopped for a Starbucks and was offered a sample of a Green Tea Latté...
You can see what it looks like...
It smelt...........of wet dog
It tasted..........sweet, grassy......and faintly fishy!
