San Jiao, a small town


Kevin and Andi Crockford were waiting in our apartment, when we arrived back "home" in Chongqing.  From there, we all took off, headed for schools near San Jiao, for a few days of "rural" teaching.

Most of these students had not seen "foreigners" before.  They were sooooooo excited that we had come!
























Enthusiastic Teachers and Students

This experience in San Jiao convinced Andi and Kevin that they want to come back to China in August of 2012, to teach!  The students are incredible!

This little gal was an extremely enthusiastic dancer!

This student (and her family) invited us to a wonderful lunch at their San Jiao restaurant.

Thank you!









Paula, Kevin, and Andi, at the second school, where we signed HUNDREDS of autographs.  Such celebrities!

We were a huge disruption to classes....students flocked out of the classrooms, to peer at "the foreigners."










It's easy to love these kids!

They're not used to big hugs.....but, they love it!
Ping-Pong.....notice the "net"
