Xiamen China NOTE 2

We went to the beach - Pacific Ocean - really far east.

We're planning on Pizza Hut dinner tonight. I'm amazed at how 'tired' of the food so many of us are. We had KFC (Chicken) on our way from Beijing to Xiamen. There's a picture of picnicking at the airport. We went to a garden today and students from a local school were collecting donations for the disaster relief fund for the earthquake victims. They seemed very happy that our students were contributing.

I'm hopeful that the pictures are coming through OK. This internet connection is quite slow.

We're having the evening "off" to get our bags packed to be ready to leave the hotel at 5 a.m. for the airport. Then, it's Shanghai for a couple of days and home again. The trip is flying by. We really haven't had much rest time, but when you're on the other side of the world, you might as well see it all.

Best wishes and thoughts of home: Students, faculty, tour guides & of course, the bus driver.

PS - I've tried to upload a bunch of pictures, but I'm not sure they're coming through. We're going to try again later.
