Panda umbrella

It has been almost five years since Louise and I toured China. We saw the magnificent centuries old buildings of the Forbidden City, sailed down the Li river near Guilin to view the trademark limestone formations, saw the Terra Cotta warriors, and walked the Great Wall. In the midst of all of those memories, we also remember seeing the great pandas in the Beijing zoo. While passing through the gift shop on our way out, Louise spotted a panda umbrella and said "I have to have it." Well, we got it and she has used it in school and other occasions.

I saw a notice in the paper calling for people to bring in their umbrellas for a special article. Louise took it in and the panda umbrella made a splash in The Herald Journal.
