Xia Nian Kuai Le

Happy New Year!

I tried to down load the lane update before we left for our grand trip, but the internet wasn't cooperating, so feast your eyes on the lane as we saw it right before our departure to Chengdu to meet up the Walter's and Evan's.
Completely destroying, then rebuilding the small concrete wall outside of the lane community center. This is right across from our house. They are busily remodeling the inside as well.
Sifting the dirt - scooping and slinging shovel loads of dirt against this propped up mesh screen.
Our only way to exit the lane - a little balance beam. You can see that the bikes didn't even try to take the wood beam route.
The other half of our lane getting torn up to repave. Check out the blue sky. The last we will see of that for awhile!
What will our lane look like upon our return??? Oh, nail biting tension. Hang in there and be patient with my slow postings of our trip, and pictures of our current lane situation will await you on our return to Shanghai.
