Photos Down

China has figured us out...My ability to upload photos to my website ended last night.  Will try again from our next hotel.  Sorry we do not have this access right now.

Schools and Farms

After an exhausting two days of home stay our students did a remarkable job of remaining engaged for a morning of classes at our host school here in China.  The calligraphy teacher showed us a series of characters including Crystal Springs High School.  We then sat through a 45 minute math class that only Ava could understand.  The morning wrapped up with a far more engaging English class.

After lunch and a two hour rest at the hotel we headed off to see an organic farm in the country side nearby.  The matriarch of the farm fed us fresh tomatoes and then showed us through her vineyards.  The day ended with a farm cooked dinner and planning for tomorrows teaching at a local elementary school.

Home Stays Complete!

All the students are safely back in the group after two nights of living with their Chinese host family. There are many great tales of eating strange foods and seeing real Chinese life.  I will to collect a few highlights and post in the coming days.  Photos from the rest of the day to come later tonight.
