Howdy Jane, nice to hear from you! Yes, it is sad to lose trees but as you know too well, things change fast in Shanghai.

Cycling around the streets the trees were always so beautiful. The street just looks awful and bare. Very sad.

Hi, Kathy, I’m finally caught up on your wonderful blog. It has been quite a busy first quarter of the new (western) year for both of us, but looks like you’ve been having a lot more fun than I. With the exception of the disaster visit to Merapi, of course.

Too bad about those plane trees. I’m thinking of some very old live oaks on St. Simons that were taken down a couple of years ago to make way for a traffic circle. They managed to be replanted and seem to have survived, albeit with stay wires. We can only hope for the plane trees…

Hope all is well with you all.
