Snowing!

Today we woke up to snow. 2 days ago it was about 65 degrees.. hmmm sounds like Ohio weather don't you think! Well Robert is sick! Got home from the show last night and was sick all night.. I mean he threw up about every 30 minutes. Please pray for him. I think he is okay now b/c its been about 4 hours since he got sick. He is sleeping. We are stuck inside b/c of the weather so I am bit stir crazy... Got to talk to my parents today and that made me feel a whole lot better. I appreciate your encouragement everyone!! It helped me a lot... I needed to hear your perspective. I wish I could email everyone back but it is a bit pricey to be on the Internet.

So 5 1/2 days to go.. I can do it!! Thanks Jane for letting me know I will access to Starbucks in about 3 days...

Oh.. so let me tell you about our lunch the other day. We were all eating at the restaurant where the Terra Cotta Warriors are. The waitress pulled up her cart behind me and asked if we wanted some more to drink. Well................guess what was on that cart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snake wine. Do you guys know what that is. It is a clear bottle with a snake at the bottom of it and it was right behind me.. It took everything in me to not freak out. Robert kept saying " don't look, don't look it's almost gone.." It was so freaky!!! I had heard about it but certainly never thought I'd lay eyes on it. Hopefully we won't have any more opportunities to see that!

Well, I better get back up to the room. Joseph and Robert are both sound asleep so I am going to take advantage of the quiet and read my book=) Love and Miss Everyone!! And I can't wait to get home and have some good Italian food and of course Aladdins!!! I miss my hummus.

Kelly and Robert

So sorry to hear that Robert is sick -- hope you're feeling much better today! Crazy weather you're having! We can't wait to see you guys at home. (I had such a hard time with the food in China!)
Love,

Robby-dob! Quit being sick in China! Seriously, I hope you are all better by now. Being sick while traveling sucks more than anything. I threw up all over Europe. You two better boost your vitamins when you get home anyway because everything is going around. At least in Ft. Wayne. I'm recovering from the flu and bronchitis! I can't wait to read more of your adventures and see more pictures. This is my favorite thing to do every day now. Find something safe to eat and take care! Love, Lonny & Danni

Oh Kelly
I feel Robert's pain, the same thing happened to me in China. I hope he feels better today.
Did you find the starbucks by the bell tower yet? It's close to the Muslim Market!
