Winter Storm Toby

The team arrived back to the States from Shanghai and Singapore just in time for Winter Storm Toby. The east coast was besieged with ice, wind and snow. Lately, have you noticed this wind, and I am not referring to those of you in Chicago. Seriously, what is with this turbulence? Our power was out for three and half days because, of the wind two weeks ago. I am so over winter, and dreaming of warmer weather and cooking outdoors!!!

Here are few of my favorites photos from yesterday morning, as the mid-Atlantic took the first hit from Toby.

Stay warm,

Shanghai

Periodically a few of us at Heath embark on a journey to Shanghai and Singapore to take in the architectural wonders, a bit of art, secure an idea or two from the cultivated gardens, and to take part in shopping sprees. But, all that aside there is nothing like enjoying the view of the city from these spectacular buildings. {Pudong landmarks and skyline}

Buildings arise on both sides of the Huangpu River, and we are on the eastside opposite the Bund, known as the Pudong district. This financial district has a most impressive skyline that includes the world’s highest observation deck located in the Shanghai World Financial Center. In two of these photos one can see the Oriental Pearl Tower, which is also a TV tower and was at one time the tallest structure in China, until Financial Center was built in 2007.

Travel stylishly,
