Cool looking building! I hope this finds you both well and happy! I transferred to Louisville, KY and am now a FORD worker. From all your pictures it looks pretty much modern there and the collage must be architecturally pretty cool. Enjoy your travels and know that I am thinking of you two. Take lots of pictures and post them on your blog, its pretty neat to see how the other side of the world lives! Take care!
Overnight Train Travel Love that you got to experience the overnight train travel, it is a great experience yet not luxurious. Such great insight into the local culture. Beijing is quite amazing including the Great Wall. I have been there 2 times to 2 different sections and Pete has done it 3 times to 3 different sections. It never gets old seeing the Wall.
Nanjing Glad you were able to go back and see the changes that have occurred. While I am sorry for your loss, as I remember Jason & Kathleen telling us about this horrible situation.
Bike Ride Nick, it was interesting reading about the bike ride and seeing the pictures after talking to you about it on the phone. A whole different perspective. Great pics by the way and good writing too.
Keep it up,
Dan
I would like to see more pictures, if possible; they all look so professional! I forgot to ask, how old are the kids you are teaching? Is it coed? Loving you and missing you both from Bellingham. xoxo
Nick and Lauren,
Sounds like you are having a great time. I'm sure it was nice to be able to meet up with your friends. The food sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing with us here back home. Just wondering if your missing a good steak yet ?
Trip to 苏州 (Suzhou) Hey Uncle Phil! Definitely missing the steak, but I will say that we are quite spoiled here with the over abundance of incredibly diverse and delicious food for ridiculously low prices. The night markets are filled with street food that is pretty tough to beat. Hope all is well in AZ! Lauren says hi too!
Sounds like you guys are getting settled nicely into life in China. What a great experience, take advantage of it all. Interesting cauldron of stuff, what is in it????? Have fun and we always look forward to the updates.
Keeping in touch Just talked to your Dad and he sent me this link so that I might be able to send off a line or two. You know I am quite computer illiterate, so just have to muddle through somehow.
What an adventure you and Lauren are having! Exciting! Oh, to be young, again.
Well, I am keeping this brief just to make sure you receive it, so if you could verify, that would be great.
You two enjoy this wonderful time of your lives and I will live vicariously through you, okay?
Love you both.
Grandma
Hey Grandma! Hey Grandma! It's good to hear from you. How is everything in Las Vegas? We'll have to set up a time to chat on Skype! Let me know when you're free. Lauren says hi too!
Love,
Nicholas
