This blog is a collaboration of ECE's interested in my trip to China to work in day care. These ECE's are all Reggio Inspired and hope to be able to use my experiences in creating or enhancing projects they may have happening in their centres.

Yangtze River Cruise, con't.







Okay, this is the final installment of the cruise. The picture with Doug (the guy in the life jacket)is on the Shennong Stream that was the highlight for me. We went through the 5 step lock system in the evening. The next morning we toured the dam sight. We couldn't see the far side because of the haze. I didn't find this part very interesting but I'm sure engineers and dam enthusiast would. What did the China Sturgeon say when he hit the wall (the china sturgeons cannot return upstream to spawn because of the dam)? "Oh,dam." We got a few of those jokes along the way. The last 2 pictures are a lock and the dam. Then we continued past the 3rd Gorge, the Xiling Gorge which are depicted in the middle 4 or 5 pictures. After we passed the gorges the land started to flatten and by the time we got to our destination, Wuhan it was so different. It was a very enjoyable trip, relaxing and informative with amazing scenery and did I tell you about the absolutely fantastic bread that was served at all the meals. Doug was actually more impressed with the river and the gorges than with the Great Wall.
