Thanks Dave!

Dave (aka Dave and Sandy from our travel group) cheered me up yesterday when he sent me an e - mail with this picture attached. Dave started to work at translating Chinese characters to English and vica versa. He found the symbols for Lily. Apparently, they don't call the flower Lily in China, they call it "bai he hua", or something close. The image shows the symbol for Lily in Chinese and a translation. If that is not enough, Sandy is actually learning to speak Chinese! I think we are sticking close to Dave and Sandy during our travels. I plan on learning a few words in order to comfort Lily but a second language is not in my future!
