Walls of glass bottles

This is in the restaurant in the new wing of the Shangri-La hotel called the Valley View. It was built in anticipation of the boating events for the 2008 Olympics which will be held in Qingdao China. I ate in the buffet every morning and most nights. I just loved these walls of glass bottles.

Lost in Qingdao

What else to do after the work day in Qingdao but go the the nearby mega store and get lost in the food aisles.

Food for the Birds in the Bird Market Hong Kong

Help I can't stop taking pictures of flowers in other countries!

I can't stop taking pictures of food in other countries either!

My favorite vegetable Choi Sum
I think these veggie pictures look like "ART" they were taken in a market in Hong Kong

The Statement Necklace

Top Shop Shopper London

This cute girl was actually wearing about 12 necklaces on top of each other, she was thrilled when I asked to take her picture.

CARB COUTURE

This was in the window of Harrods in London

White and Fuchsia

I just loved the white stone and fuchsia azaleas that were all around the hotel.

These might be bougainvillea not azaleas

Mother of Pearl Scrub

The second day of our 22nd anniversary trip to Turks and Caicos I went to the spa for a "mother of pearl" scrub. Crushed conch shell, oil and peppermint rubbed all over then nine jets of water spraying it off and strawberry oil rubbed all over. I took a picture of the reflection pool in a reflection.

Bangles and Turks and Caicos

These light weight Indian bangles made me very happy during our trip, I wore them every day and Bill had to make sure they were in each photo

How to fly to Turks and Caicos

Put on a pashmina,
Carry a canvas tote bag,
Get on the plane.

3:49 AM Figuring out how to add pictures to my blog

More on Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city kind to blind people, the street lights have a clicking noise that starts when the light is in your favor and gets faster as you cross and it gets ready to change. The escalators also have a clicking noise when you approach them. The only problem is there are no blind people on the streets! In China they are regulated to be either a masseuse or a piano tuner.

Notes on a trip

Hong Kong 4/3/2008

The day of markets first the flower market which is huge and saddens me to think the NYC flower market has shrunk to 1 city block.
Then the Bird Market, lots of chirping, bird cages, bought one and in usual Lenore style became more obsessed with the accessories that go with the birdcages than the actual birdcages themselves. Bought many little tiny porcelain water dishes in different patterns.
The Jade Market hmmm the color green...
