Trip to TianJin

Today we left in the morning and took the subway to the train station and took a high
speed train to TianJin. It goes about 300KM per hour. So what would have taken almost 2 hours took only a half hour. But when you add in all the walking and subway stops to get to the train station, it makes for a long day. We relaxed at the home of dear friends whom we knew when we lived in Taiwan. David hadn't seen them for 11 years. I saw them in 2005 when I came to China with my Dad. We walked to the channel and the boys ice skated. They had a blast.

With our friends, the Kloppers, in Tianjin.
We will be sleeping in tomorrow and have asked for late check out of the hotel, since our taxi doesn't come until 3:00 to take us to the airport. Pray for safe travels and a chance to unpack and get ready to meet FuMei on Monday morning. When it's Sunday evening in Denver, like 7:00-10:00, those will be the hours that we will be meeting her. Please be covering that in prayer.
