While we were out of the country for a meeting much of Asia celebrated Lunar New Year. We were in a night market after dinner on New Year’s night and saw the following:

The Chinese have just celebrated – and continue to celebrate all week – a new year. This year will be the year of the dragon.

Fran & I are out of the country for a few days at a meeting. When we were preparing to leave, Fran wanted to know if the hotel provided a hairdryer and /or a hot water maker. While looking at the hotel’s website for that kind of information we found the following:

It took a minute but when I realized that they offered a baby sister with the room we had to re-think whether or not we wanted to stay there.

Last Sunday Fran and I attended the funeral of the wife of one of my cousins. It was an evangelistic service that I felt honored her. We saw family there that I rarely get the chance to see.

While there, we saw something  that we had never seen before . . . .

Where were we?

Man, it’s been a while since the last post. We’ve been really busy . . . and still are.

We’re getting ready to take a break from our 2nd home and reconnect with folks back in the US. We’ve also been planning a special week for this summer when we will visit here

During the Christmas break we took a couple of days vacation and did some driving around this beautiful island that we live on. Here are a few of the pictures we took . . .

We have finally gotten around to posting photos that were taken while in attending a meeting in Seoul, South Korea. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoyed taking them    Because of the sensitive nature of some of the people pics, I had to tag them “Friends and Family Only”.  If you can’t see them – but you want to – let me know and I’ll make you a friend at Flickr.

I completed my Saturday goal and (click) here are some of the pictures taken while we were on vacation in the Dallas area.

I want to put up more of the London pictures before the work week takes over. I don’t have time now to tweak them or do very much to them so I’ll just upload what I have and get back to them later (I hope).

I really had a good time I hope you like the pics. Click the links. I didn’t link to the slideshow view this time. If you want to see them in a slideshow just click the link in the upper right hand corner area.

Which way do you prefer? Link to slideshow or link to album? Let me know in the comments (on the blog – not FB).

The day I arrived I just had a few hours before I had to leave town for the purpose of the trip – training.

The day after training. Again I had less than a whole day. Saw the zero degree latitude line.

Sunday, my first full day. Worship in St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Monday, left early with a plan.

Tuesday, next to the last day.

Wednesday, half day before departure.

As I get ready to go out for the 3rd day in London, I wanted to let you know I’ve put up more pictures (quick and sloppy). I’m having fun but getting really cold and tired. Maybe I’ll go a little slower today

Second set pics

Third set pics

I’ll try to organize and caption them better once I get to a better internet connection and have the time.

Just a quick note to let you know I put a few pics on Flickr. The day I arrived for training I was able to spend 4 hours in town before I took a train to the town where the training takes place. I’ll add to them and give them captions later. I had a lot of fun in four short hours. More later!
