Hodgepodge

Folks, we made it out and we miss it already. That's right, your dynamic duo is no longer in China, but we had such an amazing time we are tentatively planning a second trip in a few months (maybe). Last time we wrote was after one week at Wu Wei Si. We stayed one more week and learned a second, and much harder form in Tai Chi ( several kicks in this one: see video ). Other then that and our return to the wonderful home of Kim and Tom Whilhelm (look them up next time you are in Macau: you won't be sorry). Nothing else crazy has happened. So we are going to take a trip into the photo album and throw out some stuff you might not have seen yet.
Leah thought only her leg would be in the picture, look at that face. Part of morning practice at the monastery now start counting to 50 in a Chinese ascent.

Back on Tiger Leaping Gorge, the view after the clouds pass

Local market, local medicine, there is a angry one handed monkey somewhere.

The View of Lunch at the Monastery. We ate this good, three meals a day. That, plus a place to stay, and 5-6 hours of training a day, will set you back about 50 US dollars per person, per WEEK!

Nagasaki, JAPAN: Check out those hot (formerly French) Girls, and with them those lucky guys: Clint and Me.

Inside the cruise ship playing on the circus equipment!

The Cherry blooms in Japan only about 2 weeks a year. By some lucky chance we hit it right on the nose. Right before the nose fell off, Japan is cold this time of year. (This weather lengthens the season, so again we were lucky )

In honor of our next destination we show you Dr. Fish.

Thailand: Getting your feet cleaned the old fashioned way, by hundreds of hungry fish.
