Last week in 连云港 （Lian yun gang, literal meaning: Clouds and harbor are connected) I had a possibly once in a lifetime opportunity to pick cherries- 樱桃 (ying tao) straight from the cherry tree of my uncle's friend's friend's family. Those were some of the best 樱桃 I've ever eaten.

There's a saying in 连云港：海天一色（Hai tian yi se), that the sea and the sky are just one color. It really did seem like it on that day.
