We Have Arrived

China is beautiful!   We are enjoying the culture, people and food.  The internet, however, has us frazzled.  I have several wonderful pictures to post but the technology will not cooperate.  Another couple took 24 hours to upload pictures to a blog.  Really!  Who thinks I have that kind of patience?


I'll share more as my skills advance and my hair is restored (pulled it out in frustration over computers).


Jinan is not as "international" as Beijing and other more westernized cities so we really stand out.  We've witnessed the discreet cell phone taking our picture and adults and children who stare endlessly.  I have engaged in a few bus conversations that leave us all laughing and wondering what was really said in English and Chinese.


The students assigned to help us survive our first week are MARVELOUS!!!  If this is a sampling of our future classrooms we are truly blessed.  I suspect they may be the cream of the crop so we'll enjoy them while we can. 


We miss our dear family and friends but continue to embrace all that is offered on the other side of the world.
