So, I made it to San Fran safely! I am stunned that some peoples' parents are here....really?!
Anyway, my blog, gmail, and facebook might all be blocked in China, but we are looking aways around it.
More later!

Hi Katie, I'm sorry I didn't get to call you while you were home. I kept feeling like I would be intruding on your short time. I am from "your home town" and called your Mom a while back. My son Patrick is in Guiyang and is looking forward to meeting you. He will be in Chengdu at least part of the time. Introduce yourself. He was also in Gambia.
Looking forward to your blogs. Good Luck,
Patti Sansbury
one more thing, you are going to have to move this blog to the china group. it is entirely too much trouble to switch over here! hope all is well, Patti
