About Me

My photo
One might think that the very young are quite different than older folks. I propose that we are all the same in one major way... We love a good story, and the best stories come from real life. History is full of tantalizing, sorrowful, tragic, and wonderful stories. Most exciting of all is the fact that we are all writing our own stories at this very moment. The choices we make will affect others' stories, and in no time at all, we become the stories that will be told in the future. I have had the opportunity to travel the tiniest bit, and each time I visit a new-to-me place in the world, I feel as though I have been changed. Touched by the people I meet and their stories, I can't wait to share those stories with my students, my colleagues, and my family. If any of the discoveries I make along the way are useful to you as well, all the better.

Touchdown in Beijing


My guess is that you’ve had to pull an all-nighter to work or study at some point in your life.  Remember how you felt that next day?  That’s what I’m feeling now.  In order to adjust to the time change, our group is staying up additional hours.  I didn’t sleep on the plane, so I’ve probably been awake for close to 30 hours now.  The drive to the hotel was a good chance for city sight seeing.  After a quick rest and then turn-around at the hotel we went to dinner.  Here’s a little of what we saw today.

There are lots of mopeds, bicycles, and motorized carts alongside the cars and busses. 
My first REAL Chinese food dinner was at this restaurant.
