Highlights from today

I'll post several pictures from today, but the first one is the only one I'll comment on for now. It is my brave people picture ("brave" is for me, not the people in the picture, although they may be brave, who knows). The guy on the left had said "ni hao" to me earlier, which gave me courage to ask him if I could take his picture (using sign language, as he didn't know English). After I took it I showed it to him, and he gave me a thumbs up, so he approved. This is the kind of people picture I was hoping to get.

OK, I have to say something about this one too, just so I dont' forget about this guy. His name is Georgie Pan, and he started talking with Lynn and Mark (in English). He spent 40 years as a literature translator, and translated works by Mark Twain and John Steinbeck. He was very nice and let me take his picture with Mark.
