Weekly photo assignment. My vacation.
We were exhausted after cruising the Bund, so we popped a squat on some building steps with all the Chinese people...and had our picture taken at least once (that I saw, a couple had their tween daughter pose with us in the background).

July 3rd 2015
"We are KNIGHTS, on a QUEST, to find THE HOLY GRAIL! And we wish to invite Maya to come with us! But she must wear her underwear on her head, and over her clothes."
I was tired but who could sleep with views such as this? My summer vacation started with this picture and for two months it was a blast!!
We saw numerous purple ribbons on the southern leg of our journey. I could see three from where I was standing as I took this photo, while pumping gas in Ellisville, Mississippi.
We couldn't figure out what the ribbons represented. Wikipedia lists over thirty possible causes. Perhaps they're intended as a show of support for Pat Summitt who is battling Alzheimer's.
In any event, this is the final photo of our vacation. Hope you've enjoyed re-living the trip as much as we enjoyed making it.
