China

david and i visited China in April. what an experience it was. from the "squatty potties" and the extraordinary things we ate, to the people. it was a time i'll not soon forget. this was my first out of the country adventure (you can't count mexico, well not right across the border anyway or the same into canada!) to travel my first time to a communist country was quite surreal. I have a new appreciation for like-minded people living there and "working", they are my new heros. america with all it's troubles has never seemed sweeter. we, my friends, are blessed. I was glad to be home. the country was quite beautiful. there is a wind blowing through that land and it is growing stronger...

here are a few pics of us and the people we traveled with. the great wall was incredible! the pictures can not take it in. just imagine what you see here extending over 4,000 miles. I have over 400 pics so be thankful this is all i'm posting. We visited Hong Kong, Xian, & Bejing.

such talent with the chopsticks. that is 2 peanuts, the goal was 4.

The Chinese love to have their pictures made and
want you to show it to them. You could make friends fast with a camera.

Here I am on the Great Wall of China!

Okay, already, THAT'S ENOUGH!
