Back in China - Lake after Rain

June 14, 2016

Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, June 13 – We arrived back in China late last night – It’s hot and humid (writing this now at 10PM, the humidity is 96%!), but it’s good to be back.  I think the time change and jetlag are the worst part of traveling. There is a 12 hour difference between our two “homes.” When we travel to the USA, we gain 12 hours, then coming back, we lose it. During USA daylight savings time, it changes to a 13 hour difference. Jetlag after going to the USA from China is always worse for me than when I come back. For me, it takes 7-10 days to readjust going there, and only about 5 coming back. Today, after waking early, then taking a long morning/early afternoon nap, in between the rain, I went out for a walk. I must admit that I really did miss my walks along Songshan Lake. I like the way the water sits on the lotus leaves after it rains and the sun was just peeking through the clouds when I took this picture. Welcome back to “Life in China: A Picture A Day” :-)

Attempting to do art... Peanut always wants to help! I bought a book with cute little animal drawings.  I can mostly follow the step by step pictures, but I also translate the notes. But he makes it difficult! I ended up having to make Peanut move. #
