Last weekend a hike at the Great Wall was organized by the Medical Staff President. My nurse Xing Guang Jun and her husband, Xaio (see picture of him coming down slide at end of trip), joined us and we had a very nice day. It will be much prettier in about a month when everything turns green as we know since we took similar trip on our first visit last April. I especially liked the signage along the way indicating a rest stop (I think). The group pictures were taken with nurses who work in the Internal Medicine/Family Practice outpatient clinic. After climbing up and hiking we ended up at a touristy area where there is a cable car up and slide down. You end up at a very fancy restaurant where they had a glass blowing exhibit and $12 hamburgers (we declined). We then returned to Beijing and the four of us had a great "foot massage."
We hope all is well. Stay in touch.
Philip and Astri
Spoke with Joyce at MDI last week and asked how you are doing... she thought it would be ok to share your blog address.... hope this is ok. It's amazing to me this instant communication and brillient method of journaling.... Bob and I enjoyed the photos ...Although I must admit before your haircut Phil you were beginning to look like a rock star! My hair is finally much longer! All is good here in Lamoine with the Christies, the snow finally giving way to mud season.Know you and Astri are very busy, but you may enjoy the blog site andrewleisersblogspot.com. He's a classmate of Caitlins from MDI Highschool and attending St Lawrence University, and is presently in China in a study abroad program... His perspective and stories are fun to follow. Bob sends his warm regards and is a happy man now that we have the tennis channel as of today's installation of cable. And yet we still have no computer.... I bribed our Youngest for some time on hers, thus you probably didnt recognize the follower named Jules! Be well and take care of each other. In our thoughts and hats off to all you are doing there, Susan and Bob Christie
