Can you see the sun?

It was the first super warm day here in Shanghai, almost 80 degrees F. Beautiful warm weather, beautiful breeze and yet, you couldn't see the sun and the pollution index skyrocketed.
So no, I won't be raising any children in this city of smog.
On the bright side, I had a surprise day off when my one lesson canceled and got to enjoy the Spring weather. Plus, all of the blooms are arriving, new leaves and lots of blossoms, the city has some beauty in it after all.

Enjoy the blossoms:

I don't know if any of you have been watching Jimmy Fallon lately but it has been quite good. I can't compare it to his other show but I have been really enjoying it lately. My favorite part is that half of the time he is laughing so hard he can't continue, laughter is so healing. 

I apologize to my friends back home that I haven't been in touch with too often. Even with the interwebs, it's amazing how hard it is to keep in touch. I promise you are in my thoughts much more often than I am able to write and I miss you all! Please don't hesitate to write me and I'm always up for a Skype chat! xoxo
