Nanjing News for the Week

Last Saturday evening Sue-anne, Courtney, Nathan, Orson and I arrived back in Nanjing. We had a quiet day on Sunday. On Monday we visited Confusious market.


We ate at Burger King and then went to the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream shop for dessert.

Monday evening both Bob and I had classes. Nathan taught my writing class (as well as the other two writing classes I had last week) and Sue-anne, Courtney and Orson went to Bob's Oral English class.
Tuesday we visited Sun Yat-Sen's tomb. Bob and I had been there last September and I was surprised to find that it wasn't as long a climb this time. I made it to the top which I didn't in September.

Wednesday Jeremy, Julie and family arrived in the evening.


Thursday I had classes in the morning. Bob had one law class Thursday morning and Nathan taught it for him. Nathan and Orson left Nanjing to go to Hongzhou while I was at class.

Friday we planned to go to Shanghai, but couldn't get tickets back that day. Instead we again visited Confusious Temple Market and walked to the Nanjing Wall. We got to the wrong place and couldn't go up on the wall. In the evening the children stayed at our apartment and ate cheese sandwiches and the rest of us went out for Chinese Food.

Well today had been a bad day. Bob and I went out to the airport to see Sue-anne and Courtney off. We got back and there was a very bad thunder storm. It was a dark as night in the middle of the afternoon. Nathan had a flight from Shanghai to catch his flight back home and the Shanghai flight was delayed two hours and he missed his connection so he is still in Beijing and will return a day late. We hope that Sue-anne made her connection. We haven't heard from her.
We hope things improve so that we can do things with Julie, Jeremy, Kennedy, Jackson and Mickey.
