Quick trip to Nanjing

We decided to take a quick two day trip to Nanjing. Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province and only a one hour high speed train ride away. While we were there we got to see an old ship, a temple, the old city wall, a massacre memorial and a memorial for Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. The pollution as terrible and it was rather cold, but we still enjoyed our visit.

I got a little lost with this dude (this was the half way point) even with all the walking he did great. He was excited to finally get a snack though.

This ship is what we were trying to get to when we got lost.

We left an hour before J, but he got there about 15 minutes before us...I shouldn't have trusted Apple Maps!

This large statue was outside the Massacre Memorial.

This is the old city wall, it is 600 years old.

So many stairs!

And of course, no trip to a new city would be complete without a trip to a local brewery. Gao Master did not disappoint.

Playing catch up!

Hello, anyone out there? Anyone still listening? I wouldn't be surprised if there is no one, it has been far too long since I wrote anything. I am working on a few posts to get updated. It shouldn't take too long to catch up with the present day as we did not do as much travel over the last year. I just got busy with the day to day life here in China. But, one of my goals for the year is to write more blog posts. So be on the look out for some posts of our past travels and hopefully some present day fun too.

And just in case you have forgotten what we look like here is a photo of us from a couple of months ago:
