It is Friday morning and I am here in my office.  Last night with the girls was really fun.  We went to a nice restaurant and had a steak.  There were a few interesting side dishes.  I gave each one a try and only made a face on a couple of them.  We visited a gorgeous park in the middle of the city.  Hundreds of people go there in the evening to walk around the man-made lake and cool off.  There were groups of people dancing to music, karaoke, and families just enjoying the evening.  It was very, very nice.  This morning, Betty and I had breakfast at the hotel.  Again, all new things for breakfast- only one piece of some sort of animal liver was uneaten.  Otherwise, I just chewed really fast and drank extra juice.  I am relaxing now before I go to my first class of the day.  I was just invited to attend a teachers' meeting during which they vote in or vote out their current principal.  The teachers decide whether or not she stays or goes.  They allowed ME to vote.  The entire staff of principal and assistant principals were voted- I assume voted IN.  We'll see tomorrow.  The gym teacher offered to "play" badminton with me this morning after I got to work.  The humidity is 90% and he and a female teacher ran me all over that court.  I got my butt sufficiently kicked, but it was a lot of fun.  I reviewed the pictures of me that they took.  I would say from a grace standpoint, badminton is not my game.  I only missed a few and only got hit in the face once.  I think she meant to do that.  All in all another great start to a wonderful day here in China!  Looking forward to some light travel this evening and mountain climbing tomorrow.  Pictures to follow.
