Suzhou
Hello Again,
Last weekend Jen and I went to Suzhou to celebrate our anniversary. It's been 5 years since we got together! Suzhou is very famous for it's gardens, rivers and riverside houses and it's silks. Unfortunately it rained for the entire day on Sunday, which was our only full day there. That really cut down on what we were able to see, but it was alright. We were able to do some shopping on Sunday in the rain.

On Saturday we went to the Fishing-Net Master's Garden. It's a relatively small garden built by a high official of the Southern Song dynasty after he retired. 
Suzhou is known as the "Venice of the East".
On Monday we went to the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is one of the most famous gardens in China. It was built in 1509.
There was a Bonsai garden inside the Humble Adminstrator's Garden. There were more than 1600 bonsai here. The oldest one was 400 years old.

Seems to me that both of you are still finding things to see in China. Keep on going. I'll bet you a million dollars you still haven't seen everything in China.
Hey Guys! It seems like you have managed to visit the most beautiful places in China and the backdrops you have in your pictures makes me feel differently about China, I always thought that it was crowded with people living on top of each other and you have visited some very serene places.
Hey Jen and Josh;
This is simply beautiful. Why did you guys not bring us here as part of our visit? Next time. Anyway, keep enjoying yourselves. See you soon.
Tony
