Strange events occur. A little while ago, as I opened this blog to review an entry, I noticed that all the photos posted from January 1st this year had disappeared and been replaced by what looked like a grey no entry sign. I cannot account for this bizarre occurrence, but it cost me an hour of time replacing the photos!

Xiaoyu and I continue to write to each other daily. Soon she will begin an English course to improve her language skills and hopefully in a year or so, communication between us will be much improved. We get along really well now but there is a deeper level of knowing that we will eventually need to explore.
