Bill McCarthy writes from China:

The trip has been wonderful so far.  The kids are great -- delightful to be with, cheerful, great eaters, up for anything.  And always on time!

The weather could not be better -- low 80's and sunny.  Our guide David may be the best we've ever had.  He really enjoys his work, shares his personal story with us, photos of wife, daughter, apartment, and car.  He is very attentive and willing to work with us.  Today he took us not to the usual tourist restaurant but to a local restaurant that served food head and shoulders above any I've eaten at with the tour.  He said it wouldn't be magnificent looking, and it was just ordinary, but the food was outstanding!

Much as I'd like to complain about some little thing, I can't.  This has been great!  And how wonderful to be back here!

  1. The weather sounds great over there, we've only got around 60's a I though that was hot. It would be great to experience the same restaurant style here in the U.S. and to eat real Chinese food, sounds delicious. - CM Period 3 Chinese 2 says hello

  2. Wow, low 80s? Let's soak up the sun!!! I sure would love some authentic and local Chinese food. My mouth is getting watery just thinking about all the great food in China. Eat extra for me. Can't wait to see more pictures and read more posts. See you soon.
