hoping this turns out ledgible. we have arrived in China unscathed. as i type this it is 715 am and the computer i am on is only showing websites in Chinese so i dont know if you will be able to read this. anyway, the flight to Vancouver was delayed due to de icing for 1 hour. we had 2 to make our connectionand arrived in time. carol and i are doing well and all our bags and stroller found us well. we had been greeted at the airport by our Enfants du Monde reps and they took charge from then on. we are greatful for the efficient organisation of the organization. carol and I are well, we had a wonderful chinese supper but the baby bok choi and mushrooms dish was better at Montreal's Beijing! although, we had a garlic deep fried cod that would give Beijing's Salt and pepper squid a run for it's money! we managed to get a few hours sleep on the plane and in the rock hard hotel beds. today we fly south to Nanchang and will be meeting Alana at around 2 or 3 pm our time. unfortunately we dont think we will be able to send pictures due to the chinese Windows running at the hotel. thats it for now, keep well and we send our love.
