We are on a train from Shanghai to Tianjin. Shanghai was an unforgettable experience.Tim took us to see a show with incredible acrobats with the Era- Intersection of Time” show, with acts that seem to come from circ d solei y but even better. Our gracious hosts have been so incredibly generous. Sitting on the train now without a guide, without an advocate, I can really appreciate how har it is to be a brand new international student. Tim’s hospitality helps me to understand the difference we make.

We spent some time with brother Michael but with little time to talk. This quick stop in Shanghai made me wish wehad more time with students and appreciate the even couple of months concentrated time we have witn students back home in Arlington. We hope to meet with Michael on our final night in Asia when we fly back through Shanghai.

Today we head on off to see Garrett and his family in Tianjin, 9 hr by bullet train away. Popish people we hope for some good conversations about LONG term future things.

Bullet trains are everywhere here but different but more plentiful than in Japan. We almost missed our train but by Fathers grace and some really pushin and stretching by each of us, we made it.
