The best way to get grading done is......

To not grade at all. 


This was Luke and my thought today as we were in the office working on grades for our classes.  So, we talked to Emily, she made a phone call, and we were soon booking tour tickets to Jiuzaigou for the next day.  Here it is:

Emily told the travel agents that we can speak Chinese, not a lie when with Luke, andthey gave us a really, really cheap price.  3 days, all expenses covered trip.  But we had to be in Chengdu and pay them in 2 hours.  SO, we ran back to our rooms, told the last bus to wait for us, packed in 3.5 minutes, ran back to the bus, whose driver was waving to us and picked us up on the go, and left to go to traveling in about 30 minutes from start to finish.  Whew. 

Now we are at the hostel sitting around a coal fire and talking with the staff.  We just ate Pad Thai and played with Russell, the dog next door for a solid half hour.  I miss dogs. 

Jiuzaigou here we come!!!
