The city of Chengdu in Sichuan province is famous for its hot, spicy food, its pretty girls, its beautiful mountains, and its adorable pandas. Bordering on Tibet to the west with mountains to the north and west, Sichuan province is home to 80% of the 1600 pandas still living in the wild. Today we toured the Giant Panda Breeding Research Center.
The giant pandas can be seen in a setting approximating its natural habitats. The base focuses on getting the pandas to breed with a goal of eventually returning them to the wild.
On a more personal note, 30 years ago today Greg and I were married at the Presbyterian Church in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. We never would have guessed then that 30 years later we would be spending our anniversary in China with our youngest daughter, Julie. It's been a great 30 years, and we are looking forward to the next 30 together.
