I am so glad you are having a good time.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, Jess and I got up with no great plans except to go to the new WalMart and check it out. Her driend David called and invited us to go and have a Jiujiang lunch with him and his English class students. It turned into a feast with food continously arriving, and it was good. There was much drinking, I learned about Ganbei a "bottoms up" game and attempts to converse in broken English. This was followed by a trip to a Mahjong place, where the game was played for three straight hours and your granddaughter won 15 yuan, although she still is not quite sure how. A good time was had by all. Even the trip to WalMart was a success as we located the elusive spaghetti sauce. Today we are going to haev a quiet day. Tonight is the official end to Chinese new year and so there is supposed to be a lantern festival and fireworks, so we'll see if we can see them.<BR/>Love to you both.<BR/><BR/>Sam<BR/>ps.
