Made it to camp!

there's a LOT of crazy construction all over BJ... we drove thru town on the way to the train station and it's amazing how different the city looks from just last summer, not to say from when i saw it the 1st time 4 yrs ago.

this is the "real, authentic" China we got to experience for a good 6 hrs as we waited for our train. we were def the only foreigners there. then we got plenty more of that on our 7 hr train ride to ZhengZhou...

and here is my beautiful family! Emma, Lily, and my translator Victoria.

k, now time to go to our waterpark...
