Minnys final day

The last day

Ohio didn’t have much to offer although we checked out a big GM factory near Toledo.

Classrooms at PBU

The Cafeteria – not a very good picture.


Home sweet home… for a while

Minny’s road trip – Day 3


Wisconsin – famous for cheese


Wisconsin Ski Resort – they need all the snow makers they can get!

I’m now in Toledo, OH about 8 hours from Philly

Beach, ND – I’m not sure how it got this name!


From the top of a butte somewhere in ND


The largest metal sculpture in the world… they say. I’m not sure if I get it. It looks like an eye with birds flying through it???


Paradiso’s Mexiacan food – Fargo, ND


This must be the biggest Blue Heron in the world.

Christmas in China

Here are just a few snapshots from the last couple days.


Mr Chen (on the right) from the tooling shop treated Bruce and I to lunch. It was a very simple meal and more typical for the average person in Shenzhen. I haven’t seen ginger beef or sweet and sour chicken once in China!


The hotel put on a Christmas Eve party so Bruce and I thought we would check it out. This was one perfomance I really enjoyed. (about the only one I am afraid)


Michael Jackhung in concert.


Its a beautiful day… Christmas morning in Shenzhen.

I spent the afternoon and evening at the factory. Its been a challenge this time around but I’m encouraged with the outcome. They should be out of the factory door in about a weeks time.

I head home tomorrow. Can’t wait to get back!

The Three Sisters

Joe and I went climbing last Sunday. On the way there we passed a point of interest. ‘The Three Sisters’ are famous mountains in Banff. I am not sure but I think they are named after 3 pioneers who ran a bed and breakfast in this area back around the turn of the century.


I did some digging on the web and found this old photo of them.
