Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. -Isaiah 43:5

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.

Free Day #2 in Lanzhou (lawnjoe)

We are getting more and more smiles and giggles from our Emma.
These were in a bucket near some fish tanks at the restaurant we ate at tonight. (hmmm?!?!?! What did our guide order for us tonight?)

Group picture at Lanzhou University with our new friend/tour guide.


Man made lake in University square, Eric was told that there was a tomb inside the pagoda in the picture. (8,000 students attend here.)


A couple of boys fishing with a net in the university lake.


Short post tonight..........



Emma doesn't like going to bed or napping, took longer to get he to bed tonight. We went to the Gansu provincial museum today and toured the building. We had bottled water that brought with us and Jenn had to swallow some of it before we could enter with it. They also didn't allow us in with our backpack, because of the metal rod in the back used for towing it with the roller on the bottom. Our guide Wendy talked them into letting us have it for the baby. The Lanzhou University is a block away from our hotel, so we walked there tonight after dinner with the Dorroh's and a kind Graduate Student came and talked to us and showed us around. We attracted crowds again as there are not many Americans in the City, especially with Chinese babies. Almost everyone asks if they are Chinese.



We will be walking to a bookstore tomorrow and maybe back to the department store, as Eric has not experienced it yet.


Eric, Jenn, Emma & Evelyn
