Wednesday was the middle day of our camp session here at New Bridge High School in Beijing. Our Chinese counterparts felt we should have a break, so they took us to the Shicha Hai District of Beijing.

We toured the Mansion of Prince Gong “The best of all the prince mansions.” Also included were some traditional quadrangles with views of some of Beijings ancient alleys. The evening ended with a splendid meal at one of the Districts’s community centers.

Some of the team got off the bus at the local Wal-Mart Supercenter on the return.

Now we are earnestly preparing for the closing exercises scheduled for Sunday, July 22 from 2-4 PM.

We are amazed and thankful at how eager the Chinese teenagers are to hear the good news and Englich conversational challenge. All is going well, with very few health issues. Jim & Jodie
