The title of the post is not completely accurate.
My husband has the lovely schedule of teaching just Monday through Wednesday this term, which means we were able to fly away for just a few days to Kunming this past week to see some dear friends before we leave China at the end of July.
The weather in Kunming makes us Nanning-dwellers decidedly jealous.
We enjoyed the brief respite from our balmy climate, the hiking, the Western food, the city in bloom.
But it did rain, a frightful downpour, that actually made West Mountain, and its roaming temples wonderfully ominous.
We made the best of it, of course, despite the loud claps of thunder and blasts of lightning that came too close for comfort!
Down the mountain we came, to dry off, and enjoy the rest that Kunming had to offer.
But I daresay the blog may be a bit blank for awhile.
Tonight I pick up my family from the airport in Nanning…and China awaits them.
