More Fall Photos




Finally I have a child interested in tennis!

Flower Arranging Update

I have continued to take flower arranging class every Tuesday.
Some of my fall flower arrangements.








In October, my mother's good friend Poppy Wurtzburger came to Shanghai on a business trip with her husband. I arranged to bring her to flower arranging class. We had a great time together.

December Update

Still very behind in the postings and trying to catch up. I'm still posting from October and it's already December. It's gotten cold here. The Muhlheim family will be in Los Angeles from December 25th until January 19th and we hope to see as many of our LA friends as we can during that time. Also, the kids will visit Turning Point on January 9th and do some presentations to their classes!

Hoi An

Our final stop in Vietnam was Hoi An, where we stayed at a beautiful beach resort.
We also visited a local market and took at Vietnamese cooking class.


More Halong Bay Cruise

Eric and I finally got to try tai chi (on the deck of the ship). We also went to see some huge sea caves.

There were "peddlars" in fishing boats, residents of the fishing village who came to our boat to see us snacks.

Vietnamese Fishing Village in Halong Bay

We went on an excursion to see a fishing village. They live in house boats on the side of the hills.


Cruise of Halong Bay (Vietnam) Aboard Junk Boat

One night we stayed on a 25-room junk boat that sailed out on Ha Long Bay, a cluster of maybe 600 rocky islands that were long ago carved out by the glaciers. Odd, as the feel was so tropical when we were there. The landscape was beautiful.
