Sorry for the hasty ending of my last post, our ride to the airport showed up early and I was forced to shorten things a little.
October 1-8
China: Xichang
Our time in China was so much fun. My friends took such great care of us and we enjoyed catching up with each other. We even got a chance to watch some football together. I was also grateful for their knowledge on ordering food, we had some great meals.
Xichang has mountain views and also a lake. One day we took a trip there with some Chinese friends. We tried out new foods, took a boat ride, and enjoyed watching JD(almost 2 years old) play in the water. He was the star of most of our outtings getting lots of attention from the Chinese.
Another highlight of the week was a trip to a nearby village. The kids were so cute. They became our tour guides for the day and loved getting their picture made. We enjoyed getting a taste of the culture upclose.
We took in some local sites including a museum on the local minority group. The museum was overlooking the city and we took a slide back to the bottom.
It was sad to say goodbye. Always hard to be far away from such great friends. Love you guys and thanks for everything!!
