A Postcard

                                                          12 July, 2003

Dear Susan,

      I arrived here yesterday by plane. It is the peak season for tourism. Lijiang is an amazing town with a long history. In this old town, there are lots of old stone bridges over the river. By the river stand many stone houses. The houses are of minority style.

      Lijiang is especially beautiful in the rain. Just a moment ago we had a storm.  But now the sun is peering from behind the clouds. The sunlight plays on the.water. Now I am sitting in the bar near the river,  the sun streams into the room.  How beautiful.

      Tomorrow, we'll climb the Yulong mountain.

     Best Regards !
