Hi guys!
It’s so good to be home, both real home and blog home. (Does your blog feel like your home to you, too?) Last week, we got final word that there would indeed be a 5 day break due to standardized testing (or some Chinese equivalent). Since we are foreign teachers in a private program, we got time off – the whole department did actually, not just the foreign teachers.
So, in a moment of “we’re leaving in a month and we haven’t seen anywhere in China” panick, my husband graciously took care of the travel plans that usually overwhelm me, and we bought tickets for a Friday flight…on Thursday. I almost didn’t make it on the plane when, at 2 AM, I decided it was time to make a visit to the ER, and was whisked downtown by a night taxi. I got lucky and found a return ride with no problem and was home by 3:30. (FYI, it was a stomach bug caused by eating the local food.)
So, when our airport taxi driver arrived at 6, I wasn’t really ready, but I was able to board the plane with my family. And then we had 3 glorious, sunny (blue skied) days in Beijing. Spoiler: I have a post almost ready to go with lots of pics.
For now, I’ll leave you with a few of my favorites this week. Dig in, and enjoy!
