The Colorado folks have arrived!

Actually they arrived yesterday evening in time for dinner and are "roughing it" in our building, which is convenient. Of course hosting visitors means were are eating very well in all our favorite restaurants. Tomorrow my little niece Mary, age 8, is going to school with Helen. The rest of us will head to the antique flea market and I will try to bring my camera this time! (sorry no photos today but we mostly walked around and they went to the beach) The family seems to be surviving jet lag pretty well except for Nathan who is a little sick but recovering. Anyone who has made that crossing can appreciate what an arduous trip it is. I am dreading it next month! We have lots of plans to visit sites in Xiamen while they are here, and it is also a chance to do things we have been putting off -- the time is flying by and maybe there are some things we won't have the chance to do again. After a week here they will also visit Xi'an and Beijing.

I promise photos tomorrow. Today you have to be content with this graphic:

Hockey fans...I think you know what this means, (especially any Ottawa fans who might be reading this!) Go Red Wings!
