We will be heading off soon to ShangriLa. We want to take a route that will take us through Litang. It is over 4040M and the highest permanent town. Unfortuantely it has been raining a lot and the roads may be washed out. We will decide to today if we will take that route or an easier one.

The route via Litang will take four or five days of very bumpy bus travel.

don't know when I can access the blog again.

... close to the gate? No, of course not. We have to keep going down the hill to a different lot to find it. But man, it was nice to sit again. And air-conditioning. I didn’t even care that the driver had been smoking on the bus again and it smelled like smoke. I was also really glad I’d brought a breakfast bar along, because I was quite starving.

We arrived back at the school just about exactly at six, all starving. Satomi and I were a little slow getting ready ...

... the east Gate marketplace again, I had delicious dumplings and disgusting soft serve ice cream. I also had strawberry flavored milk in the morning that was disgusting... And earlier during lunch I had really spicy noodles, which was a first. We ended the night with some Tai Chi lessons.

We had breakfast in the hotel and then we were driving around looking for a place to wash the van, since we had been driving on muddy roads for the past two days. The first place we stopped at was too busy to take us and then we spotted another place but Jimmy wasn't too sure on where ...

Dear Friends and Family, It is about 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday in Chengdu and we are still here. The airports and train station are still closed. We did have aftershocks throughout the evening and slept in our clothes. We thought we might need to run out at about 4:00 a.m. when an aftershock hit and continued for what seemed a long time. The home where we are at is safe. The upstairs bathroom had the roof ...

... me one time why in English do we say the sky is blue. Goodbye to the shady, tree-lined lanes and occasional elegant, crumbling old building that are still clinging on in the face of modernisation; to the false-teeth salesmen in the flea markets and ever-busy tea houses along my running route beside the river, the customers always surprised to see the lao wei dashing past; to those practicing early morning tai chi and the group calisthenic sessions; to the useless taxi drivers ...

... bus station took us down the nearly empty expressway. we arrived in chongqing by 8 pm and i took a taxi from the bus station to the train station. the taxi driver used the meter without me even having to ask. i had decided to try to get an overnight sleeper ticket on the train to chengdu right away if i could. often trying to buy a ticket only a few hours before the train leaves doesn't work out very well...but there was no one in line at the train station ticket office (mind ...
