Jenni and I spent the last 3 days in the big city, meeting friends, celebrating weddings and preparing to leave for the mother country.

Kevin has only 5 more days in China so, apart from rain, various farewell dinners are keeping him too busy to do much collecting. Except, this time, it is a different kind of herping altogether, watching the alligators at a farm and diving for turtles.
