We have been enjoying our stay-at-home national holiday this week. On Monday, we took a long bike ride with the kids to a place called the "Precious Belt Bridge" which is a thousand year old bridge near downtown Suzhou and about seven miles from our house. So the whole family did 15 miles on the bikes round trip and it was a nice bit of local sightseeing.
In the afternoon, I took a long canoe ride with Michael, my friend and neighbor. We set out to see if we could travel by canoe to downtown Suzhou. We almost made it to the major canal that encircles downtown Suzhou, but after more than three hours of paddling, found the passageway blocked with a bamboo barricade.
This takes us to the tragedy story. By now you have noticed that there are no pictures posted with this blog. The reason is that upon returning to the boat dock in our neighborhood, I tried paddling the boat onto the concrete boat ramp and capsized. The water was only three feet deep, but it was deep enough to soak my iPhone 4 and destroy it. Pictures from the adventuresome day were on the phone.
I have only had the phone for about a month. What a disaster !
