It was such a blessing to meet these different families, converse with them, meet their children, and of course, savor some of their delicious cooking!

I felt like Wei, Yunjie, Sarah and I had a small role in those children's lives. It may have been the first time either of those children had met someone from a different country (at least from China!). Nevertheless, I really felt like the 3 of us made an impact on ...

As we are working on becoming a greener cast, I have a "go green" challenge for all of the readers :) I compiled a list from the environment presentation of different ways you can help save on energy and water consumption, reduce your trash and food waste, and cut back on your transportation needs.

... beside each other and eventually covered in snow. Now, they lay together as the two volcanoes. In the pictures of Izta below, you will see that the mountain does indeed look like a sleeping woman from certain angles. This is one of my favorite all-time climbs.
