Ladies and Gentlemen....

All good things have to come to an end eventually. Specifically, our time here in China has to come to an end.... and in our case, the end is sooner than we thought! Folks, we have decided to come home early! Get ready to throw us a welcome home party for March 19th! :D Please play the National Anthem upon our arrival :)

USA! USA! USA!

Below, you will find our itinerary for our three week backpacking trip afterwards. So excited can't wait! That's seven flights we just booked today! Eek! :o I got a little excited and did a bit of over planning.

Subway- eat fresh

Our lovely town, ZZ, of 8 million people does not have a subway. However, Xi'an which is a huge tourist destination does! Having heard that the food near the warriors was bad, we decided to pick up some sandwiches to go. Walking up to the Subway, I wanted to capture this joyous moment on film so I proceeded to ask three separate people to take a picture of us. All three of these people completely ignored us and continued walking. In fact, none of them even remotely slowed down to acknowledge us. Now I know what it feels like to be invisible.

But we didn't let that ruin our fun. Brandon happily took our photo but he is dearly missed from the documentation of the awesomeness that is Subway.

Keeping my sanity.... or at least trying to
