Moving blogs

We are going to change blogging servers, because as I quickly found out today, you can't access any website with the word "blog" in its title from China. Oh yes, by the way, we are in Beijing!!

Our new blog site is krivesinchina.wordpress.com

In the meantime, our flight across the Pacific was uneventful. We ate, watched movies, and slept. Our baggage arrived safely, something which frequent travelers don't take for granted.

China was quite a bit different than I expected. We haven't traveled very far yet. Our friends live close to the airport. But the grass was very green everywhere, buildings were very spread out, and the roads were well-maintained. Once we go downtown I'm sure we'll get a different impression.

Now, the journey has begun.

On our way!

Well, I am in the Vancouver International Airport as I write. We are on our way to China! We are so excited. We've had a few complications, but in the end, everything has worked out.

Here's a picture!

Here are some more photos from our trip to Yellowstone National Park. We are still in California. We just spent two weeks with Noel's family in Arroyo Grande. Now we are in Petaluma with my family.

Michigan

I'm a little behind in updates, but these are some family shots from Michigan.

Back at Interlochen Camp

The Z4 in Michigan

Pretty much speaks for itself.

Interlochen Arts Academy

We spent two days at Interlochen Arts Academy and the Interlochen State Park. My dad attended Interlochen in high school. We surprised his former instructors from 27 years ago with a visit.

Lansing, Michigan

We stopped in Lansing to see my mom's Aunt Martha. Aunt Martha sponsored my mom to come to America in 1980.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

We stopped through Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on our way to Michigan to see our dear friends, the Weavers.
