We took it upon ourselves today to have an adventure.
First I got my hair cut - really cut. But he was having so much fun cutting it! Anyway, it'll grow back. It's probably my last hair cut in China.
Then we took a taxi someplace in Tianjin to see the home of our friend Rachel Yang, from Camas. She grew up in Tianjin and she gave us the address of her home, although we thought we were going to a museum that honored her father. It was in a tourist area and there were lots of homes that were historical. Althouhg they didn't look so great to us.
There was a park nearby that we walked through. People were singing and dancing.These old ladies invited us to dance with them, so we did! We drew a crowd. It was slow Chinese music no "Boot Scootin' Boogie".
Then we left. It was a little hard to excuse ourselves from her. We caught a taxi and came home.
I'm making Jeanne's No Knead Bread. Hers is a nice rounded loaf, mine is a blog about 2 inches high, but it tastes good.
Tonight we've been invited to go to dinner with Paula and Wynn Ferrell a couple from BYU that teach at Nankai University.
When you buy a train ticket you need to show your passport. A few weeks ago Wynn was at the train station but he forgot his passport, so he showed his temple recommend! The lady looked at it, wrote down the number and sold him a train ticket! Always carry your temple recommend!!
Love you all!!! Be good. Mom XXOO
