My wife, daughter and I have returned from Chengdu and SOng Pan, in beautiful Sichuan Province. Daughter went horse-treking in the mountains on the way to Tibet. Leslie and I hung around Song Pan and ChengDu for four days. Very different ethnically from other parts of China, friendly people, lovely clean air and bright spring sunshine at 10,000 feet. Good place to chase your blues away. I'll post more when I get a little more arranged here. Best to all Seth
