If you've ever played Nertz, you know that it can be an intense and sometimes downright vicious game...well six Americans are enough to draw a crowd anywhere in China, but six Americans playing Nertz draws an entire boatload of curious/slightly inebriated Chinese to watch. We had an audience during the game, which made it a lot more fun, and so did the drunk guys yelling Chinese at us. All in all it was quite an experience on our "cruise" through the Three Gorges. I can only imagine how beautiful they were before the dam flooded the area.
Today I woke up to the third blue sky I've seen in 宜昌. It was glorious. Had a Good conversation with a Chinese friend, and got to praise the One who made it all.

Beautiful Beautiful absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I take great joy in what your eyes have seen! Thanks so much for sharing with the rest of us. How long did you have to go without your Chacos? Glorious day receiving them in the mail I’m sure! An Irish blessing for my friend in China:
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields, and till we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Wowsers. Those dam pictures were simply amazing. I'm very glad you finally got your dam chacos. I'm sorry you had to go so long without them. Drunk people are funny no matter what nation they're from. Life is dam beautiful isn't it?
