Well, China has been interesting, from our last day until today, where I am sure most of my blog visitors have heard about the earthquake.
It began with the protest of our favorite store, Carrefour. This protest occured while we were in Wuhan.

More troubling, obviously because of the magnitude of the seriousness of what happened, was the earthquake that occured hours ago near Chengdu, where our tour began. We made many friends there, and while it is too early to hear from any of them yet, I do hope to hear from them soon to know that they are ok. Articles have also reported that the quake hit CHongqing, which was our second city, but I think Wuhan was too far away to make news.
