Time Flies

Where does the time go? Seriously. Sometimes I have absolutely no idea. It just seems to whiz right by. I’ve been told that the older you get, the faster it goes. As of right now I can’t imagine it going by any quicker. Of course there are those days when you’d really like to speed this whole process along, but that’s an entirely different matter. ;)

Anyway, what got me to thinking about time and how it passes so quickly, is our upcoming visit to Xian. This weekend Klynt and I will be meeting our brother-in-law Dave and a couple of his fellow co-workers there. Now it was almost one year ago that he, Kari and the girls were here in China, and we all were gallivanting around Shanghai, Suzhou and Beijing. It just doesn’t seem like it has been that long already.

Posted below are a few of the highlights.

The Great Wall of China is pretty amazing.

There was a Panda sighting at the Great Wall. Luckily we were able to capture the moment.

In the heart of T-Square.

The Forbidden City in enormous!

I think the best thing about loving in China would be the food. Is that true? I'm also wondering if you abbreviated the name of that square because of censors--ominous....

I have been to quite a few places that have great Chinese food, but overall I would have to say it can be rather hit or miss. It all really just depends on your taste. I'm probably the wrong person to ask since I am more of a meat 'n potatoes type of girl. Tiananmen square was not abbreviated because of censorship. I guess it was just a bit of laziness on my part.

I think it was because she didn't know how to spell it.

Good ole Hee Haw! Do you remember Minnie Pearl? She always left the tag on her hat. I thought she was a riot.
