We have just finished a visit with 11 Chinese students and two sponsors. They were here from Feb. 4 - 15th. The Chinese stayed with host families, and were able to experience many aspects of the American culture.

The Adventure Team is home. Most of us arrived home late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning EST.

We had some wonderful and exciting adventures while in Shenyang and Beijing.

In the near future I hope to have some pictures of our adventures to post here on the site.

We had a great team with no complaints not knowing sometimes what we were doing from day to day with all the travels around Beijing.

Monday
Well friends we have spent our last day here in Beijing going to the Great Wall, eating at a couple of Chinese restaurants, and shopping at the Pearl Market.

So as you can imagine we spent a fair amount of time of a bus today. So after a several fun debates it was decided that there was no clear winners and “War and Peace” would be a debate.

Tuesday
Breakfast came early and it was most excellent! We have sent our second and third people home (Mary and Faith) and we hope they have traveling mercies placed on them by our like minded friends back home. ...read more »

We are in Beijing now and we are in high gear now doing stuff with the other second session team.

Today, we saw part of the Forbidden City (the rain stopped us) and then we went to a acrobatic show. They were both pretty cool.

Tomorrow we head to the Great Wall and then to the Pearl Market for some shopping.

All are well and a few us are still tired.

Goodnight all!
