Bangkok!
We only had a couple days in Bangkok and I had been there once before--but we loved it as soon as we stepped off the plane. We took the public boats everywhere on the river and walked and walked--finding the reclining Buddha the first afternoon.
Why we're so bad at blogging
The thing about great travel blogs is that they're full of snappy impressions, they keep you in current touch with places half way around the globe, they share photos and funny stories. This blog is not one of these.
I have friends with great blogs. But Sam and I are not good bloggers. First of all, we both only want to spend the absolute minimum amount of time possible online, so that when we finally find internet (and we're now pretty good at finding it free) we just want to get in and get out. We write our families to tell them we're alive, we delete some spam, and, if we're lucky, we respond to a few quick notes from friends.

Go to Fernando's in Macau
After a couple weeks in China, we were ready to eat some bread. So we found Fernando's in Macau, the best place ever for Sunday brunch. White wine, portugese seafood dishes, and delicious crusty bread. Mission accomplished, happy birthday to me.

Chengdu
Pandas! Including babies. Which are very cute.
Wengshu Buddhist Monastery. A real retreat in the middle of the Tibetan Quarter in Chengdu. Possibly the most restful place in China. A smiling lady gave us oranges and a guy in a yellow vest refilled our teacups again and again.
It's hard not to go on and on about the food. For 26 yuan (about $4.50) we had a most awesome dinner--noodles with spicy garlicy sauce, wonton soup and dumplings--all delicious. Doesn't do it justice.Xi'an
Our favorite noodle guys, Muslim Quarter, Xi'an. Best breakfast ever.
