Continuing with our theme of change, we only stayed one night in our fifth floor hotel room and were moved to a different hotel in Huozhou. It has an elevator but we could not figure our Internet access until tonight. Thankfully one of the college students came to Huozhou to spend more time with us and has helped us with this hurdle. He also helped me by sharing his wifi info so I can use my iPad. It's wonderful to have more time with Yanji.
Today was a great day. We went to a local mountain park and did some hiking. It was a tough but beautiful hike. Surprisingly there were food stands along the trail where people were selling freshly prepared food. I will post photos as soon as I can because it was stunning. I will be in a number of family albums in China as people would stop me to have photos taken with their children. Even teenage boys wanted a photo. It's really strange to get used to. I heard someone say yesterday that they had a couple of Americans visit Houzhou last year. We are an anomaly. I'm wondering how my family will make me feel so special when I get home!
I just woke up from my daily nap and will eat again shortly. We are being well cared for. Turns out that massages in Linfen were a bit of an extravagance. Massages are only $3 here. That's next on my list!
