Hello from China

Sorry for the lack of news, but we're in China and having a great time. We did a 10K hike on the Great Wall yesterday and have been enjoying the great food-- Peking Duck for Thanksgiving Dinner.
To rewind a bit- we landed in New Zealand after 31 hours of flights and hiked the Milford Track for the next 4 days. It really is amazingly beautiful and we saw at least 700 waterfalls (especially on day 3 when it rained nonstop). After the hike--which successfully got rid of our jet lag--we headed up the west coast of the south island and than into wine country before hitting Kaikoura on the east coast to see some whales and dolphins. NZ was over too quickly and we'd like to get back.
Tonight we're on the overnight train to Xian--home of the terra cotta warriors--than making our way to Guangzhou. There has also been a change of plans, we're now flying into Hanoi (instead of Bangkok--to avoid the protests that have shut down the airport). Miss you all lots enjoy some of the pictures
