Welp, there was a post that should have been up last Saturday declaring the end of all educational activities in Chengdu International School for the next couple of weeks (we’ve gotta start working on our Chinese as teachers, ya know)… but alas and alack, it did not post.  So now I post to you, our readers, from the Travelodge outside of LAX, where we are staying for the night to pick up a 6:00am flight to DC.  Yes, we are in America!  They say there are no cats here, and the streets are covered with cheese…
The flights from Chengdu and Beijing were long, but uneventful; we have spent the last two days with Sarah’s family.  It has been good to be here.  Still jet-lagged, I think it’s time to head to bed…
