Home Sweet Home!!

Adam and I are back home! Our time in China flew so fast! We loved every minute of it but are glad to be back home! In the last month we have traveled almost 20,000 miles and traveled 16 different ways. Walking, taxi, bus, train, airplane, longest escalator in the world, tuk tuk, elephant, scooter, bamboo raft, speed boat, ferry, ox cart, qiche (cart behind a bike or scooter) back of a truck, and subway. We have been on the beaches of Thailand and China and visited the minority villages and street markets of those countries. We have seen thriving cities and watched farmers work their land in the country side. Our hearts have been forever touched by the sweet people of China and especially by our wonderful students. We have loved traveling and are so happy that we had to spend an extra week in Thailand waiting for the Chinese embassy to open after the New Year. It was a great time to relax in the sun and go to the beaches of Thailand with white sand and warm ocean water. After we flew back to China we had one day to pack everything up and then we flew back to the states. Our total trip duration was over 36 hours long! Adam and I are on crazy sleeping schedules now where we end up staying up all night and then can't help but crashing during the day. I am in the process of getting our pictures loaded so you can see what we have done!
