Yellow Crane Tower/New Dog/Random

Here are a few picks around town and at the Yellow Crane Tower. I am doing well. We are making great relationships with people at Mr. Mai's Coffee Shop. I met this guy named Frank and he is a Kung-Fu instructor. So I decided to take some lessons. I am going to do that once a week to keep in shape, and so that I can practice on my little brother when I get back. haha Just kidding Trev. Mr. Mai's is having a Thanksgiving Day Party next week and they have asked Stew and I to play some music for the event. We are also having a Thanksgiving Day dinner with our foreign fellowship group next Thursday. So we will be celebrating the holiday with our good friends. Stew got a dog and named him 'Beau'. Don't ask me why he got a dog or why he named it 'beau'. I don't know. haha It is getting really cold here but I bought plenty of clothes in preparation. That's about all for now. Thanks for your pryers.

Beautiful Wuhan, China.


Yellow Crane Tower. The entire town would come here for shelter in a time of war.

Stew's new dog, Beau. It looks like a stuffed animal. It acts like one too.

Huangshi and Three Gorges Dam

Hey everyone...sorry it has been so long since my last post. We have been busy the last few weeks. Since my last post we went to visit our friends Gavin and Kelly in Huangshi. They are teaching in this wonderful little town where they are some of the only foreigners. It is a nice visit for us just to get away from the big city.

When we got back, Stew and I had the week off from teaching. Our students were going on a community service trip to a local farm. They worked on the farm feeding the animals and sleeping in the barn. The school didn't want to let Stew and I come along for safety reasons, so we decided to go on a little adventure of our own. I bought a bicycle and we rode them 200 miles to the largest dam in the world, the three gorges. The first day we rode about 120 miles in ten hours...but when we woke up the next morning, Stew's knee had a weird shape with some fluid in it. So we didn't want to risk making it any worse. So we took a bus the next 80 miles to the large town before the dam. So we start walking around the town and we see the only foreigner in the town. Stew stops to talk to him, and we find out that he was dating this Chinese lady who just happened to be the manger at the best hotel in town. So we got hooked up with a nice room for half the cost. Amen. Then the next day we went to the dam for a few hours. Then we took a bus back to our Wuhan home.

Here are some pictures of our two trips.

Sweet bread man. This bread was so good.

On our bike ride to the Three Gorges Dam, there were nothing but cotton fields the entire way. This is probably where your t-shirts come from!

It was hard to see because it was cloudy but this is where they raise and lower the boats to go from one side of the Dam to the other.

Me and the Dam...There isn't much to do at the Dam!
