We stayed with The Shorey Family. Kevin Shorey was my high school youth pastor and the whole family is friends with my family. He teaches at an international school and his wife, Emma from England, does homeschool training and advising for families in China. We enjoyed sharing meals, playing games, and having genuinely good conversation with them and their boys, Timothy and Wesley.
Xi Shan (West Mountain) gave us a great view of the pop. 5mil city
We also visited the Minority Village that highlights the culture of some of China's minorities. Check out a few photos below (mostly Tibetan, Jinou, and Bai):
Emma reminds me of Cydil Waggoner.
ReplyDeletelooks like you're having a fun-filled vacation!
So happy you have had the experience to stay in the homes of friends while on your vacation. The baby is so cute! Eating breakfast outside and the beach pics are great. Safe travels!
ReplyDeletewow, so neat to see these different ethnicities being expressed. i would have loved to hear the rhythms and music that went with those dances! the one girl's outfit reminded me of the bright colors and woven cloth that some of the indigenous people's clothing was made out of in Antigua, Guatemala.
