Last month we visited the Carl Sandburg Home at Flat Rock, NC. His wife Lilian raised and bred dairy goats whose descendants still live on the farm.

Heshun Village, Yunnan Province, China
Two weeks ago, the online version of The New York Times had a slide show on Heshun, a small town in China's Yunnan Province. We were in Heshun last December, so I made my own slide show on flickr. Hope you enjoy both slide shows!

A very stylish historic fire hydrant in the old French Concession of Shanghai. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

Various updates
I've finished uploading the Indian Modern Architecture photos to flickr.
Sun-Ling on the New River Trail
Spent last weekend at the beach with friends and Hurricane Bill. On Thursday I rescued a young boy from the rip currents. The sea was angry that day my friends. Well, it wasn't much of a rescue. I was standing in water up to my waist, jumping the waves in the pounding Outer Banks surf when I heard a boy crying for help. He was really "in over his head" in the raging waters clutching his boggie board. I was just a few steps away so I plucked him out and put him back on the beach in the arms of his mother.
Here's a photo from Saturday. The red flags were up and even the surfers were not in the water.
We are thinking about traveling to Egypt next Spring. Any tips?
That's all for now.
