Late arrival

We are a little late. Expected at CFC at 7:30 or 8:00 pm. CARE team. Glad to be home but missing our friends in China.

back in the USA!!

the team arrived in NYC a few moments ago, and they will arrive at CFC around 7pm tonight!!

 

 

flights on schedule!

i just got off the phone with the team. after having a weather delay (and a short hotel stay) at the Guilin Airport, the team arrived in Shanghi this afternoon around 2pm (am china time) to catch their 9pm (am china time) flight to NYC. the airline put them up in another hotel in Shanghai for only 4 hours before they will head back to the airport for their flight. a LOT of back and forth and scheduling nightmares...but thanks to some helpful airline personnel, they are on schedule so far.

 

keep thinking about them...this leg of the trip is brutal. they are all exhausted after emotional goodbyes and no sleep for several days.

Today's Activities: L's Birthday, Laser Tag, Lunch with the president

My Blog Entry: Today was a very busy and exciting day. It was L's birthday and we were all so grateful to be able to spend it with her. After watching the boys skateboard in the parking lot waiting for our bus, we visited a tomb from the Ming Dynasty. It was very beautiful. Then we went to play laser tag. We geared up in US army costumes with Harley Davidson patches and sweet Chinese uniforms. We were sweating before we even started. The first round was in the Jungle, and we were swarmed by mosquitos. Thankfully, the staff was prepared with a mint bite medicine which really helped calm the welts. We then played in the parking lot for a quick, every man for himself round. Some of the boys chose to listen selectively and sniped everyone from a tower several meters away. Through it all, we had a great time. However, we were all glad to change out of our sweaty uniforms and take a shower. An hour later, we were all dressed and ready to have dinner with the president of Guilin University of Technology. We had a very nice dinner, and the President and the two vice Chairmen were very kind and respectable. Because everyone needed some rest, Dave wisely set the "lights out" an hour earlier so we could get some sleep. The students had their exams today but they are in our thoughts and we are hoping to spend more time with them later this week.
