海芋花

I heard a lot about how beautiful and how elegant 海芋花 was. I completely agree when I finally made it there at the end of its flower season. Their beauty is beyond description and they smell so refreshing and so nice.

Traveling can not only broaden our mind but also increase our knowledge. Do you know the Chinese poem with a verse---遍插茱萸少一人? I have been wondering all my life what 茱萸花look like. I finally got the answer in St. Louis on this trip to USA. This is dogwood(茱萸花) Very beautiful, isn't it?

a glimpse of UCSD

The highlight of this trip is visiting Son in San Diego. We enjoyed every moment talking and dining with him. Thank God he is much more mature and independent now.
這次美國之行的重中之重，就是到San Diego探望在UCSD念書的兒子.
除了到他住的宿舍了解他居住的環境如何 ，也與他的同學會餐以了解他的交友狀況，看他在ucsd 唸書順利，也比以前獨立成熟很多， 讓我們二老放心不少。

有朋自遠方來

Nora and her husband (the coulpe on the right）stop over Taiwan on their way back to Boston. Nora is a good cook and she is very generous and hospitable. We enjoyed her cooking at her home for numerous times. We haven't seen each other for 20 years. This picture is very precious.
