Time for bed...

It is now almost 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23rd - while it is still 8:15 a.m. on the 23rd at home!  We went shopping for the basics and then went out to dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant, with dishes as diverse as beef tongue, curried chicken, and spring rolls with vermicelli rice noodles and hot sauce.  Most of us have only managed a few short naps since we left Canton at 3:00 yesterday morning EDT (that was about 30 hours ago), so we are all more than ready to crash.  We are staying at High Rock Christian Center, and it's name is aptly reflective of the literal hike up the mountain to get here.  The weather is warm and humid but quite manageable.  We ended the day savoring chocolate and taking turns talking about little things that we are grateful for - being willing to ask for help, helping those who needed help with luggage, beginning to gel as a group, etc.  And of course, we are also thankful for all of you who are following along.  Good night!  Dr. E. and the rest of the team.
