Catching back up: Part 1, the return to China

We got back to China at the end of August to a home covered in mold from not being aired out all summer long.  Also, our flights got messed up on the way back to China, so we didn't have luggage for a few days.  So we spent our first week cleaning up our apartment, very reminiscent of when we first moved into that place.  I didn't take any pictures of the apartment covered in mold, though Aaron wanted me to, because I just didn't want to remember it.

A week after being back in China we packed all of our stuff onto a moving truck, cleaned out our apartment, got ripped off (didn't get the extra months we had already paid for our apartment back), said goodbye to our favorite neighborhood people then got on a 24 hour train to spend the next couple of days with our friends Phil and Julie.

We saw her at least once a week for a year.  She cried when we told her we were moving.

was to take a picture with some foreigners.
so when she heard we were were packing up our house, she came running over.
