Hello Friends and Family,
Wow! What a great weekend! We had a lot of fun getting to spend time with friends in Salem and be encouraged by our family there. We are down to under two weeks before we take off, and we have our suitcases strewn about our apartment as we begin to clean/pack/prepare for our adventure. Last night we received two great gifts: A Chinese bird book and a journal! Now, to some of you, that may not seem like much, but for me, I am really excited about this book. Being the lover of the birds that I am, I will be able to continue my hunting for the new species in China while we are there. Many of the great friends that we have been given pitched together and bought us the book and a journal, so that we can keep track of the exciting things about to happen. And, at the request of Conrad Venti, we will also be keeping a blog about what we are eating in China, as well as the birds that we see. So, this blog will be for fun, cultural things, sort of-everyday living-as it were, as well as our teaching experiences. We will have another blog that you can link to and sample the different kinds of exciting foods we have been eating and, if you are so inclined, I will keep a blog of the birds that I have spotted while in China. We may even create a blog for our different traveling trips that we are hoping to take. Hopefully this will give you guys plenty of opportunities to experience and enjoy our adventure with us. We will miss you all so very much, but we are very glad that we can continue to communicate with you. I will continue to post more frequently as the substance of our lives becomes more exciting and inclined toward our adventure in China! You can click on one of the links to the right and see the other blogs as they are begun.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
