Today we visited the Yellow Crane Tower.  It was built 1300 years ago and has seen many different reconstructions depending on which Emperor was in power.  It’s a very impressive pagoda style tower right on the banks of the Yangtze River.  If you recall, we saw the Yellow Crane Tower on our way to the hotel as we drove over the Yangtze River Bridge.  It was very smoggy today so some of the pictures are not very clear.

Molly continues to make strides.  She is feeling more comfortable with us and it starting to show us her personality.  I think we have a monkey on our hands!  She is laughing and smiling more despite being under the weather.  She has a bit of a cold and has been coughing since Monday.  I hope it gets better before the plane ride to Beijing on Saturday.
