Poor Sichuan

I spent a few days last summer in Sichuan Province — including Dujiangyan, close to the epicenter of the earthquake, and Mianyang, now the headquarters for the relief effort and also hit very hard.

I still haven’t heard from any of my friends there, which is worrying me.

The pictures from Sichuan are just heartbreaking. I thought I would post a few pictures of Dujiangyan from happier times.
