hi all,

I am helping to organize a small-group cultural arts tour to Tibet and China for late September--early October 2005 called "In Search of Shangri-La" with Mary Fletcher, the China and fibre arts tour maven. The route is: Chengdu, Lhasa, Lijiang, Zhongdian, and Hong Kong.

If I can round up a few more folks who would like to join us, we will be able to go in September-October for the first launch of her tour, otherwise it will be in spring 2006. Mary's geologist husband Dwight will also take a few of us on geological side trips along the way. If anyone is interested, let Mary know, or contact me by e-mail (mcbunsen@msn.com). .
