I've been doing the family thing the past week and have been keeping pretty busy. This is a quickie so hang onto your hats for a point by point.
Rafting on the Rouge River, going down rapids in an inflatable Tahiti. Whooo Hooo! I could see myself getting involved in Kyaking (?) as a hobby...
Beaches on the Oregon coast, not as warm as Thailand, but just as beautiful in a differrent way.
Driving through the big hills Oregonians call mountains, nice curvy twisty roads with dense woods stretching away as far as the eye can see.
Redwood forets, dwarfed by the majesty of the trees and wanting to soak into the earth and 'commune' (though that would have been easier without my brothers kids, they do everything at volume 10).

Cultural connections. Saw a really cool collection of shops, craftspeople dedicated to thier art and living around it.
Looking forward to going back to China though. I feel like its more real than my vacation here. I know I've got handfulls of little hassels to deal with back there, but I want to keep moving on.
