Day 3 in China - We had an early morning departure from the hotel in Suxhou this morning to get to our first stop - the Lingering Garden in Suxhou.  It's Sunday in China and a holiday at that so everything was quite crowded.  The garden was quite pretty with signs of Spring ready to explode.  We hope for similar signs upon our return to Minneapolis!  We took lots of photos and has been the case throughout the trip,many in our group were stopped and asked to pose for photos.  After the garden we visited a silk embroidery factory, grabbed a quick lunch and made a mad dash to the train station where we boarded a high speed train for Wuxi.  It was remarkable to see 67 people successfully make it through the crowded station and into a single car and even more remarkable that all 67 got off in Wuxi!  Our afternoon was spent in a teapot factory and then at a park on the lake here.
