As Raul already mentioned in the last journal entry, 'thank you' to everyone who contributed to the journal entries.  Also, a giant 'thank you' to Raul Casillas and David Lee for collecting journal entries and pictures.  Be sure to thank them in person if you run into them!

As most of you probably know, everyone is already back and exhausted.  But due to some internet troubles, the journals have been a little behind.  But we have them now and are going to post them anyway!  So we have Lynn Banks and Julie Casillas writing about August 1oth.  Then Amanda Casillas, Jenna Tatham, and Lauren Chu on Shanghai and the training center again.  Karol Dangaran, Matt Casillas, and Raquel G. on August 11th.  Samuel G. and Carissa Chu on August 13th.  Patrick G. on August 15th.  And Raul C. on August 18th.  

We're almost done with our trip, everyone!  It's been a long and tiresome journey, but it has also been an absolute blast!  We have a lot of pictures this time of the some of the buildings that were built for the Olympics.  They employed some crazy architecture, so we didn't want to leave it out.  Everyone is pretty worn out and ready to come home.  We'll see everyone soon, so leave any last minute comments if you'd like!

Day 10 pictures too!  Lots of goodies today!

Day 9 is up

We have Johanna Moore, Kaitlyn Julian, Christine Lee, Brianne Amano, and Cecelia Girvin writing for us this time.  They write about their thoughts on Xiaoping's old training center, Shanghai, Beijing, some of the Olympic events, and several shout-outs!

Sorry everyone, but we've been experiencing a little bit of trouble with the internet here in Beijing.  We're working on it, but the journal entries will have to be delayed a bit.  Sorry again, but we'll try to get them up for you to read as soon as possible!

The Forbidden City

Heading to Beijing, going to see Olympic events, and meeting up with Xiaoping!

Kellie Amano, Betty Chu, Drew, Kathy Gleason, Don & Lorrene Lee, Beth Moore, and Reagan Trussell off their thoughts on the past three days.

Xiaoping's old training center, silk factory, Shanghai Expo, and getting ready for the Olympics!

Sight-seeing on the lake and pagoda.  Also, a quick message from Jia.

Everyone has arrived safely and we're all getting settled in.  Pictures have been uploaded to the site so please leave comments!
