Yangtze river cruise

It was a fantastic cruise. Great food and incredible views. This
picture was taken on a excursion to the lesser gorge. The magnitude of
this project to dam the Yangtze was huge under taking. All told it
displaced 1.3 million people, so in addition to making a dam which has
enough concrete to build a six foot by six foot wall around the world,
they build new houses and apartments for the people they displaced.
The Chinese are very proud of this accomplishment. The following
pictures were taken while on the boat.
