Email from afar

Received an email from bro in Xi'an.Glad that he's well and adjusting to the weather there.It was -4 degrees when he woke up this morning..brrrrr....Reminded me of the days I had in Ankara and Cappadocia when it was nearly -20deg at night!Anyway,here are some nice photos he took in Xi'an....

Au revoir!

Taking a trip to the airport for two days in a row didn't dampen his excitement in any way.In fact,he loved it.Vast reaches of open space where he can run free...refused to sit even for a millisecond,what more to hold my hand.

We welcomed his daddy home yesterday.Both men were smiling from ear to ear when they saw each other.For me,seeing hubby was a sight for sore eyes.He was exhausted from this recent trip and boy,was he glad to be home.

This morning,it was my brother's turn to fly off...to Xi'an.I hadn't realized until recently,how much my brother has grown (which incidentally makes me feel rather old...hah!) and now he's independently flying off to some faraway city to gain more insight and learn new things.

Bon Voyage,bro!

He shall be celebrating his birthday away from the family this year.We'll have a grand fiesta when you return,ok?Meantime,do take care and have fun at the same time...and don't forget to keep yourself warm there,you won't want your ears to fall off because of the cold! : )
