Our first trip inside of China is over. We traveled down to the Fujian province for the week. We flew into Fuzhou for a night and then took a three hour bus ride to Xiamen - right on the east coast of China. Xiamen is actually an island. We spent the week going to the beaches and exploring Gulangyu Island - just off of Xiamen. It was a good omen when we got dropped off at the bus station and walked twenty feet to a hotel. I said, "Wouldn't this be great if this was our hotel?" It had no signs in English, so we asked a taxi driver to take us to our hotel - he just kind of looked at us and pointed to the hotel we were standing in front of. Xiamen was beautiful and the people there treated us like celebrities (apparently not many white people in that area of China). People would stop and stare and some even asked if they could take their pictures with us.
On Friday we took the bus trip back to Fuzhou and flew back to Shanghai on Saturday. We were glad to get "home". I was crushed to find out about the Twins' early exit from the playoffs....
