I loved the article Skip, very well written-I'm a bit jealous seeing as I had made plans twice to see Guilin, and both times events prevented me from doing so. Maybe next time! Did you happen to see the Waterfall hotel? or take in one of their elaborate shows? If so I hope pictures will be forth coming
Agreed with everything you wrote about, and I am presently taking a course in horn repair before my next trip back. Thanks
Hi James, I apologize for not answering you before now. Much less with the response: I am not sure. I had dinner in two very nice hotels in Guilin. One which did a remarkable job of serving western food. I have intended to ask Han Yu if we spent time at the Waterfall Hotel, but it has slipped my feeble brain .
My life there for the first ten days was so confusing things just ran together. Whether I made that stop or not, I am not sure. But, I will find out the name of the two hotels which most captured my stomach's attention; one that served Brazilian Style skewered meats, along with a marvelous buffet and the other which serves the most disgustingly large plate of Tiramisu with cafe' mocha, that it requires two people to devour.
I love the way the Chinese people eat. I ate more there than I ever do at home AND I lost 8 pounds in the three weeks I visited (maybe it was the 5 miles I walked every day)??
It's My kind of place.
Skip
