Jinan group happenings

Shirley and Jo Ann in front of the Soccer Stadium
a couple of blocks from our apartment

Our wonderful visiting teachers took us to the Dumpling House for lunch, yummm!

A visit to the Arts and Crafts show at the Provincial Museum

Ray and Maryann Andrus
, Facilitators, China Teachers Program, came to Jinan to visit us. It was like having parents come to visit you when you were going to college. They interviewed us, visited our classes, talked to our Foreign Office Wai Ban (contact) to make sure we were treated well. But, best of all, they took us out to dinner. We went to Pizza Hut and had a grand time together.

Shirley is having fun

Judy made 3 carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting for Shirley's birthday!
It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it! Thanks, Judy.
