Greetings from the Long's in China
Ni Hao;
Just a quick email to all of you to let you know that we are all doing fine in China. It is hot and humid as expected and the flight was pretty grueling as we arrived Monday morning at 3:00 am. We lost an entire day!! Everything was pretty uneventful except for the part of loosing Mike at the Beijing airport for an hour and a half!! That's another story! We are settling into a groove in Ping Tang. Life is certainly different here! People are very friendly and foreigners are certainly a novelty. Lots of talented riders here and Mitchell is sizing them up and schmoozing with everyone. Jeff, John, Steve and Mitchell have been getting in
daily rides and also riding with others from different countries. Food is okay and we are loving the noodles for breakfast! Rest of the food is starting to taste all the same! Tomorrow
is Mitchell's competition so we will head out of Ping Tang for a 2 hour drive. We'll let you know how everyone did as soon as we know! We met a local guy who is 20 years old and he invited us to his house for a visit after dinner. He showed us his dance moves and then took us all out for drinks by the river on our first night here. Mike is enjoying the cheap beer and we are all looking for a place to get a massage this afternoon. The time is going by fast and before you know it we'll be travelling on our own off to Guilin and Yangshuo.
Well until then... hope all is well with everyone and we will hopefully keep in touch!
Cheers from the gang
Mike, Lynda, Mitchell and Nicholas
