the travels begin....

duff and i are getting picked up to go to the train station in hankou in 1/2 and hour. amy and the international office have been giving us a wonderful send-off. we had lunch at amy's apartment today with her family, it was the first time we had ever been there. the food was so good, too!!

our friend lindsey has set up a blog (in a round-about way, we helped) and you can follow the link to the left for "mississippi misstepts" and read her reactions to our travels and get a different perspective. we are excited for her. she is meeting us in urumqi on the 29th of june, just in time for my birthday.

okay, now i have to take the trash out and unplug everything in the apartment.
