Daxing, China.


Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Daxing! Clear BLUE sky with wispy, light and fluffy clouds lazily floating around. The sun shone through instead of being a big hazy orange ball in the sky. In the distance we could even see huge black multi-layered mountains surrounding the whole area! It felt like we were home, in Southern California, after a rainstorm and suddenly the San Gabriel Mountains are staring at you with snow capped peaks, where before there was only a thick layer of yellowish smog. The scene was a refreshing change. When the smog departed, so did the humidity. Walking outside last night (mind you our walk is VERY short....our hotel is about 200 yards from the pool complex) made me want to pull up a lounge chair, break out a cold beverage and watch the sunset or have a BBQ. It was one of those perfect temperatures where it doesn't feel hot or cold, and there is a slight breeze to keep you feeling that way. Instead of rushing to the entrance to the hotel, I think I may have strolled. :)

Alas, today is a new day. It is back to being hot and humid. The sky isn't quite as blue. But it has a bluish tint. The team went outside to take a picture for Hawaiian Island Creations(who donated the sweet shirt) and Fuzzy Duds(who donated the awesome shorts).

We were out there for about four minutes at which point we scurried back inside due to excessive sweating. May there be more days like yesterday in our furture!!!
