On location: China

I am thoroughly exhausted, but thrilled to be navigating the Internet with words and photos to share from Beijing. We have had a crazy day, settling into a dormitory in a huge private school and touring a nearby medical clinic for orphans and foster children.

I am not sure how often I will be able to update this site, between struggling for access to a computer and finding the energy to write. So I have posted a few photographs from today, in hopes of providing a decent view of where we are and what we're doing.

Below is a picture of the front of one of the several dormitory buildings where we volunteers are staying. Notice Steve Bolt on a bike--a rare sight indeed.

One of the most surprising things about Beijing is how lush it is. In part because of a strong monsoon season that just started, there is green everywhere, and flowers.
