Two Dodds in China

Dad's here, and here are some of the first pictures from his trip. I met him at the airport no problem (he wasn't even that jet-lagged) and since then we've attended a Chinese service Sunday morning, seen Tian An Men Square (and the outside of the Forbidden City--ironically it was closed), visited the Summer Palace, met my students at the Kindergarten, and Dad's successfully eaten a meal using only chopsticks. I think he's been surprised by what he's seen, and it's been good to have him here. There's lots more to come, but here's a start.







By the way, Dad brought my #7 Roethlisberger jersey with him and I've been wearing it today in celebration. We were excited (and admittedly surprised) to wake up this morning and see that we'd won. Sounds like we missed quite a game. Scott, how about a Carolina-Pittsburgh Super Bowl? Go Steelers!

Got caught up on your English expedition in China. Glad to see your Dad is visiting. Everything here in MN is cold but we are all doing fine. Will have to check into your blog now & then for more updates. Take care!

Sounds like you and your dad are having a great time Jon. Hope you have a great time in Thailand!

P.S.--So photo duty was not fun today...I was supposed to take pictures of cheering Bronco fans as the game v. the Steelers came to a close...it was rather depressing instead since you guys completely stomped us. Oh well, I like the Steelers' colors way better anyway...
