Catching Up

Hola amigos. It's been awhile since we've rapped at ya, but things here have been a little crazy. We've had a steady stream of visitors since Aug 9 and just haven't had a chance to sit and work on the blog.

First we had my parents here for two weeks right as the Olympics were beginning. We then had John's sister Mary for two weeks as well. We've also had my sister, Christine, staying with us since the beginning of August.

We've had a great time and managed to squeeze a couple side trips. John and Mary were off to Cambodia and then the 4 of us met up in Luang Prabang, Laos.

But back to catching up.....

Here is what we have been doing for the past two months

Katie's parents and sister came to visit --

Katie, her mom and sister Christine went to the Equestrian Olympic events that were taking place in Hong Kong. The USA won gold!!

The city was invaded by Fuwas (the Olympic mascots)

And the whole family survived another Typhoon day

After 2 weeks of the Andry's, mom & dad went back to LA and Christine stayed behind to spend some more time in Asia.

A week after Katie's parents left, John's sister Mary, came to visit for 2 weeks. One week was spent in HK

Here's Mary trying out her bargaining skills

They also managed to get a very unflattering picture of me -- people ask me if I seem tall in HK, and I really didn't think I was taller than most, but I was standing in line to buy a subway ticket and I guess I am a little taller than most of the people here...

After a week in HK, Mary and John headed over to Cambodia and then a couple days after that Christine and I met up with them in Luang Prabang, Laos.
More on that in the next post.....(I promise it won't be 8 weeks from now)
