We've had a fun week-end, went to Weifang which is the "Kite Capital" of the world.  We bought several kites for family at home and  were pleasantly surprised at our hotel.  It was so nice to have a bathroom that you didn't have to squeegee when you finish showering and there was a TV with two English channels and so clean.  It was a joy to get away for even a week-end and we were with friends so that made it all the better.  We played cards after a walk to get ice cream and just enjoyed a good time.

Today we went to the largest Vegetable Garden Show on the earth and we know that all 8 million people that live in Weifang were there, it was not a lot of fun walking through such crowds however we had our pictures taken a lot.  Some Mother's would just put their babies in my arms and take pictures, then other children posed with us, it is always fun to be the center of attention, even in a crowd.

The bus ride home took about 2 1/2 hours and we were able to sleep a little and read and talk with our friends and the weather was beautiful.  We had a great time now we are preparing for our classes this week, tomorrow will be another busy day.  We are dreading the packing we have to do shortly but look forward to coming home to our family and friends.
