By special request...

...a picture.

Here is a picture I took of myself using the timer function on my camera. I set the camera down on a smelly garbage can and waited 3 seconds before I "struck a pose." I am at the Bund in Shanghai, China. Actually, it's called Waitan. If you tell a Chinese cab driver " take me to the Bund," you may never get there, since they won't know what you're talking about. Anyway, think of the Bund as the strip, a boardwalk, riverfront... you get the picture (pun intended). Actually, it is the riverfront, since that is the Huangpu River behind me. Cool place to hang out. If you saw Mission Impossible 3, you may recognize the buildings on the left side of the picture. The funky one is called Oriental Pearl Tower. The building to the right with the slanted roof is the one Tom Cruise jumped on and slid down while shooting at the guards. The building to the right of that with the lit, flat roof is the building he jumped off of. I was here and then saw MI3 a couple days later. On DVD. At home. Gotta love those Chinese movie pirates! =]
Enjoy

Hi Joe,
Love the picture and looks like you had a good time.

Well, I'm 26 weeks along (14 weeks left). The kids will be out in 2 weeks. Planning to go up north with my mom, a niece and a nephew to a cottage for a week.

My love to Xixi and you. Isn't it nice to be going to all these places? It's like you're going on all these honeymoons!!

Love, Su Prima

Ha ha! I was in China, so people looked at me funny everywhere I went. I was like a celebrity there. And when I say that, I mean random people actually took pictures of me, came up to talk to (even touch) me, and shake my hand. I was waiting for someone to ask for my autograph, but it never happened. ;-)
