Yesterday was a very long and busy day.....today we just rested....I sat in our orange chairs and watched it rain....and took a nap...and read my book. The river was very quite today as everyone prepared for the storm. As they say....expect the best and plan for the worst!!!

Tonight Abi is packing for her trip to Yunan Province. I think she is going to be a backpacker after all....well...maybe I should reserve my excitement until after she returns from the actual hike?? Abi will leave on Friday morning....Mom and Dad will leave on Monday...Abi will return on Thursday....and we all leave for Tibet on Saturday. Life is soooooo boring I can hardly stand it!!!

I am exhausted after all this resting today....I better go to bed now.
