Home again

So I've done a pretty spotty job of updating my blog since the Gibbons experience, but so it goes. When the zip lining was over, Carolyn and I still needed an adrenaline rush, so we took a high speed boat from Huayxai to Luang Prabang. I was hesitant to do it because of all the warnings of crashing and whatnot, but what the heck, a 6 hour bumpy boat ride sounded a bit more appealing than an 18 hour bus ride.

Anyhoo, we had some pretty good adventures which included doing some Traditional fishing with some locals and meeting up with Matt in Luang Prabang. I finally put up all the pictures with captions when necessary and I split them up into albums of the cities/towns I visited: Go to pictures!

I've been back in Jilin now for a little over a week and its nice to be back. Its even nicer because I was dreading the cold weather upon returning to the NE, but so far its been very mild.

This past week has consisted of getting back into the swing of things, like teaching, studying, and now training for the Great Wall Marathon, which I foolishly signed up for in May. I have only given myself a little less than 3 months to train, but my goal is to finish, even if it does take me 6 hours.
