window to the far east

Dave will be flying west to the far east tomorrow morning. R.E. and I will be joining him in about four weeks. We have to stay behind so R.E. can get his one-year immunizations. Our hope is to regularly update this blog for your viewing enjoyment. Expect photos and stories about his initial impressions of Xiamen shortly. Thank you all very much for your thoughts and prayers. We will be setting up new AIM and Skype accounts to ichat and video conference...so if you have any of these, please, let us know.
