Happy adventuring!
Good luck in your next great saga! We can't wait to hear / read all about it!

Man I Miss You!
I have actually seen one of those ceremonies, and they're amazing. But seriously, I miss your class. Can you believe i am starting college at the end of the month. But don't worry i am going to come visit the school a lot. I miss you Ms. Ellsworth. Love always, Andrea Spendlove

Getting some flack
Is it a flap jacket (kind of like a pancake) or a flack jacket? Looks like you're not missing the two mile walk around the lake, but where's the mud? Keep up the good attitude.

Looks like fun
Patty, I am glad you have this opportunity to brush up on your Spanish and see so many new things. I love reading your entries to see what adventures you are having. Shauna

:D
Ooh! Another grand adventure!! You never cease to astound me, Ms. E, with all the traveling you do. :] It's always nice to read about your experiences. Have fun!!! :D

Thanks
Your pictures are great. Your comments beautiful. Enjoy the remainder of your trip and wishes to all.

Hola Ms.E
Did you manage to snag a silk worm? ha ha just kidding Ms.E. What no assignments for your up coming class...they must feel ever so neglected, I think they'll need at least 3 to make up for their loss. I think Las Vegas needs a public time to practice courtesy in lines, especially at the DMV. Hope you keep enjoying your trip and keep posting about what you see(I'll find/send a fast, portable modem if neccessary) Happy Thoughts, Elizabeth D. -I survived A.P World History 06-07!!!!

Wow, Ms. Ellsworth!!
:D haha, and I thought I was busy! I've been catching up with your blogs so far.. and oo boi, sounds so exciting!! When I saw the picture of the Great Wall, I was amazed by the many steps.. O_O'' now I'm curious about it's actual length... ((ehh.. I would probably pass out from the first 10 steps)) The picture of you in a rickshaw is interesting.. did it feel a bit scary to be paddled around? it looks a bit easy to fall out of if the driver attempts sharp turns.. :D btw, pretty blue skirt in the journal a while back. *heart* You look like your enjoying yourself. ;] Have even more fun in the days to come~!! jya ne~!

Great Wall
Boy, am I confused! I have been looking at different websites of the Great Wall and have found way different information. While most sites agree that it was built by 3 main dynasties (Qin, Han & Ming) starting in about 221 BC to keep out invaders from the north (the Mongols), they can't quite agree on how long it is. I have seen anywhere from 1,500 miles to 4,500 miles, and one site stating that it could be as long as 50,000 km (31,068 miles!). One site I read stated that it was built by Emperor Tsu of the Chang Dynasty in 11th century BC to keep out hordes of Siamese cats that the people were very suspicious of that flourished on the Mongolian plains. It also states that firecrackers were invented to scare off/blow up unsupecting cats. Now that I look at the address of this site, it is "idiotica.com", so I guess this is one big hoax. I am glad to know this as most things in this article just did not add up.

How fun!
Your blog was interesting....I think I even learned something. Have a super time! See ya when you get home.
