Shuffle off to... Shanghai

Back in 2005, we had back to back conference events in China.   I LOVED Beijing; every single minute- even the crazy taxis and traffic.  I had a great time in Shanghai too, even though it did not charm me the way  Beijing did; Shanghai has it's wonderful elements.   One of the best things to visit is the Shanghai  Museum.  Beautifully curated; equipped with a fine audio tour, I spent a very happy afternoon there, and even returned with Andries for a second time later.  That is high marks for a museum: usually, once seen, I am done.  But this museum is full of funerary art.  And we all know about Jana's penchant for funerary art...well, maybe you don't...I only realized it after looking at my photos of Florence, Italy.  I spend an awful lot of time around dead folks things. 

So I was working companionably this weekend alongside Himself at the ancient but still serviceable Big Laptop, and came across the 2005 China photos.  I have backed them up in a cloud, but they aren't on the PC we use for everyday, hmmmm how to get them there? In the meantime here are some highlights from the Museum

Little flat man Tylerarrived one day

All through Easter did he stay
riding in our pocket.

We had such fun
