Back in the Saddle

Life seems a little tame after two months of travel and vacation. We are settling back into a work/school routine and feeling a little stir crazy in the beautiful weather. As we suspected, all of our classes were changed. Shana has 250 new students to get to know and Steve managed to escape teaching a single 8am class. Li is back at school and continues to play with (torment) her friend by waking him up during nap time thus getting them both in trouble. We have kept our recent adventures close to home. We prided ourselves on a 20 mile bike ride (on our one speed bikes). We biked through the new city being built south of town. The entire city is built and it is completely empty-quite eerie really. We attended the end of a local festival and enjoyed watching many of the local Naxi people enjoy a celebratory day. We have started dance lessons again, this time we are struggling to learn to samba. Luckily the teacher is tolerant, and nice to look at. We are watching the days go by to fast and eagerly awaiting our slew of spring visitors. You too could be one of them!
