We arrived back home at midnight and are now slow-motioning through the day. Our hotel was about 1 block from the Silk Market, if you know where that is.<br />Steve sent us your blog link when he heard about our interest in China. We (my husband, youngest daughter, and I) went to Mexico several years ago and stayed with Steve (whom we knew from church)to help with a medical clinic.<br />The Inner Mongolia trip was great. It is a LONG train ride (30 hours!) but worth it to see some hearts changed. The people in IM are lovely. <br />Next year we may fly into Shenyang, where our in-country partners live, but if we're in Beijing, I'll let you know--and bring Craisins!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598843041387256201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257215215737924880.post-25378008946256459342009-09-11T19:41:29.138-05:002009-09-11T19:41:29.138-05:00Hi Sue

We are roughly 7km away from Tiananmen.The Freyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770921841379472025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257215215737924880.post-27345359520016051292009-09-09T12:39:48.784-05:002009-09-09T12:39:48.784-05:00I love your blog.

Our hotel is Jianguo Hotel. If that is anywhere near where you live/work, I will bring Craisins for you--and whatever else you can think of. We'll be back in Beijing on the 23rd, then fly home to Houston on the 25th.<br />Sue NoelSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598843041387256201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257215215737924880.post-72598855936717240282009-09-07T18:47:10.191-05:002009-09-07T18:47:10.191-05:00That guy is ingenious!That guy is ingenious!The Freyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770921841379472025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257215215737924880.post-74840071560860515062009-09-06T22:57:46.901-05:002009-09-06T22:57:46.901-05:00Oh, I forgot!

By the time the pan is greased, his bacon is cooked!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920408153640574206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257215215737924880.post-28882862669122353312009-09-05T11:49:30.041-05:002009-09-05T11:49:30.041-05:00I am so proud of you two!

I credit myself with some part in what my kids have turned out to be! I will scout around for appropriate music!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920408153640574206noreply@blogger.com
