We're Back


Thanks to our in-house computor wizard we have regained access to our blog site. It seems that big brother "C" feels that unedited access to blogs is not healthy for young minds so has blocked access to all off shore blog sites. I am not sure if they have even read my blog so I guess I can't take it too personal. I have probably put a few censors to sleep over the last ten months.
Glad to be back as this will be the only way I will remember what the heck we have done over the last fifteen months. (Censors take notice: I avoided the hell word)
We have been busy so I will just give you a quick recap. We made it safely back from Shanghai. We were successful in obtaining our visas for Russia and Mongolia. Tickets and travel arrangements have been finalized for our return to Canada. Completed our last class on Friday night with a little administration work left for next week. Had many long lunches and a few dinners with friends. Gave a boring presentation entitled "Growing Old in Canada: 6 Decades of Change", not a big turnout. Did a little local sight seeing during the "Dragon Boat Festival" holiday. Had planned to go to Beijing but opted to save some money and stay local. Introduced our Chinese friends to the concept of "brunch". It may catch on.
We will leave for Beijing next Saturday and then two days later leave for Mongolia and home. Will hopefully keep you all enthralled with our newest adventures as we proceed around the world.
Stay tuned for the bestest news yet along with pictures.
