Have a great trip! luv mom&dad
I'm so glad to see Ben is keeping up with his blog. It probably isn't fair to be compared to the world's first blogger. But you can only learn from his experience and his ablility to keep his family, friends, and SISTER updated with the exciting adventures he is experiencing abroad. I wonder how your adventure is . . . Remember, I get excited when the temp is expected to reach 40 degrees in Minnesota so I look forward to reading about your busy Beijing life.
Love,
Ashley
