We visited a
Tea House in Zunyi.
Tea is a big part of the culture!
 |
| This friend of Jin's had recently traveled to New Zealand. |
We met and talked with a most amazing 67-year-old English professor at the teachers' college here. (Jin's former professor and good friend) He has recently translated 2 Ancient Chinese Medicine books into English, and has 5 more to go! Plus, he plans to write the autobiography of his (very interesting) life.

| Jin with her (very nice!) husband, An. |
 |
| Two "Moms" of Jin: American Mom and Chinese Mom ! |
 |
| Jin's Father and Father-in-law |
 |
| Jin's ENTIRE family rented a room at a fancy restaurant and treated us to a marvelous dinner! |
 |
| Notice the (usual) percentage of HOT PEPPERS !! |
|
|
 |
| The Next Generation: Jin's son, nephews, and niece. |
 |
| Jin's family truly loved viewing our photos and videos of "Life and Family in America." |
The next day, we visited Jin's family's apartment. Jin, An, and their son, Felix, live with An's parents.
 |
| Felix, diligently doing his homework..... He is learning English! |
Of course, we presented Felix with "The Story about Ping" and "Tikki-Tikki-Tembo," the same books about China that we had given to Billy in Xi'an and to Melody in Chongqing.
(We also gave these 2 special books to Maverick, Devlin, and Jaxson, and to Baby Veronica!)
We feel that we have 3 grandchildren in China!!!
 |
| The only heat in the apartment is from this coal-burning stove. |
 |
| Jin's mother-in-law does the cooking. She made marvelous noodle/vegetable soup. |
 |
| Jin's father-in-law made three calligraphy posters for us to take home to America. |
 |
| Next, we attended Jin's Yoga class. |
 |
| Jin is a flexible, athletic little thing. |
 |
| Oh, yes! (You don't see ME doing this!) |
