Limping into SUMMER 2021!

FINALLY summer has arrived! The year ended like it started, abrupt and hectic... but it is over. Year one in the books! Guangzhou is also off the "risk list" (for now) and we can get back out. We went straight for the aquarium and zoo. Of course it is also, the "100 Year Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party" so of course, things are weird. Here are the most recent moments in time. We are missing all of you right now and keep thinking about when we can all be together again. Soon!

End of the year party

Okay already! These signs are everywhere! The People's Republic wasn't even founded until 1949... I can't imagine what THAT anniversary celebration will look like.
