Dear friends,

Tomorrow morning our family heads off on a 2.5 week adventure to the northern reaches of China. We will be working with a team of 70 students and teachers from across our organization teaching English to local kids. While we hope to keep you updated we know that internet access is limited at best where we will be located. You can get a feel from the map below where we are now (the bottom blue push pin- Tianjin, just 2 hours south of Beijing) and where we are going (near a city called Hailar, about 750 miles away, almost to the border with Russia. While we are all very excited, the 26-hour train ride has us a bit nervous. If we survive that, then living in a Mongolian tent (called a yurt) should be a cake walk!
