Dateline: Sino Swiss Airport Hotel, Beijing China, 13 Aug 2004
Second day lotsa fun: speech with translator this time to big audience,
Vonne at Mao's Mausoleum, another big hosted lunch (Hunan beats Cantonese
hands down), then more shopping, then another big dinner, then acrobats
show, then collapse in exhaustion.
Up this morning and meeting people in group at breakfast (first one we've
made--not that we've lost any weight or anything). Off for tour of city
with fellow parents today. Tonight Vonne and I are staying in and get
ship-shape.
I will write something longer about everything to date. Both of us are well
and doing fine and feeling good about the emails we get about Kev, Em, Jerry
and cat Sophia (even if she's hiding from her hosts all the time).
Tom (for Vonne)
