During our travels in Yunnan we encountered beggars wherever we went, somewhat to our annoyance, but they were always very interesting in appearance. And they often were accompanied by adorable children, which made them very hard to resist...even though we knew the money wasn't going to the children. Our Quartet sang in Chinese, almost everywhere we went, including a hotel lobby. In Xishuangbanna, very close to Thailand, we were intrigued with the amount of elephant sculptures wherever we went, giving the effects of a jungle. (Xishuangbanna has been declared a tropical rainforest.) The bridge at the top is made purely of bamboo,not the most sturdy wood, and look at how it's strung together. (It is considerably higher than appears in the photo!) Believe me, crossing the thing took a little courage!
A cross-cultural homeschooling family of four experience God's grace in the adventure of life in the Orient. Teaching, nature, music, and books are among the things that fill out life; but it is God's matchless love that makes it worth living.
