To Anthony; From Will It was probably 70 and windy and sunny at the dedication, but today we are in Beijing and it is around 50 and sunny today. I miss you guys too.
To Marie; From Will I'm not scared of heights - but I felt a little nervous when it came to a stop while we were up in the air. One time our tour guide was stuck in this sky cab for an hour!! We were only stuck for a few minutes.
To Kaleigh From Will It was a lot of fun at the dedication. We ate a few chocolates. I'm going to eat a hamburger the size of your head when I get home!
To riley; From Will I don't think I've seen any new animals -- but we did see a monkey chained in a tree at a person's house in a small village (like we would chain a dog in the backyard). Lots of roosters and chickens
To Kayla, from Will It felt great dedicating the school -- doing something good for other people. We didn't know what the song was -- the kids kept beat with the new instruments.
To Mrs Magee from Will Most kids speak a little -- 'hello' what is your name?' "how old are you?". We would hold up a soccer ball and it would do the talking. A thumbs up does a lot of talking too.
To Talia and Anna from Mrs Hoag Hi Girls! The cake was spongy and the frosting tasted like chocolate whipped cream. I think it was the biggest cake I've ever seen! Being on the sky cab was fun -- at one point it stopped while we were up really high -- and we just sat there -- I was scared it wasn't going to restart!! After about 2 minutes it started back up. See you soon!!
WOW We are really enjoying the blog. We miss you guys being here, but are glad you are having such a memorable trip. We are discussing the rice paddy field and it would be a square that is 100m by 100m. 1hm=100m. Thanks for the question and safe travels. I look forward to seeing pics of the great wall . I find it incredibly fascinating.
Hugs, Mrs. Magee

To Eliza; From Will Eliza, My mom, Aunt Kris, Grandma and our friend take a lot of the pictures. In fact, my dad felt bad with how few pictures my mom is in! To date we have taken over 3000 pictures! I haven't really seen many of them because I'm usually asleep when my mom writes the blog!
