Made in China

We have made it to China! P. Jew brought us to the airport in Chiang Mai where we all had to say goodbye to him for the last time. We were all very sad to be saying goodbye to a good friend. We arrived in Kunming a little before midnight and were greeted by our driver who, although only a few minutes late, was out of breath from running to meet us and apologized constantly for being late. He was so nice and friendly and made our ride to our guesthouse very pleasant. At a toll booth Andrew, sitting in the backseat, rolled down his window to say "ne-hao!" (hello) and completely startled the young Chinese woman working there. We checked into our guesthouse, the Lost Garden, with some difficultly since we don't know any Chinese and the elderly man working the nightshift spoke zero English. Our room is a small but cozy room with three beds. You can tell that we have already made ourselves at home in our new room. We were overjoyed to wake up to a cool morning and although there are blue skies it is only 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
