...we are trying to pull together a "best of" photo slideshow from our 15-country trip in the coming days, a task made harder than it should be by Dana's presence in Utah and my arrival in Florida. But come back next week and we should have it done.

In the meantime, you can always check out our friend Jeff Prescott's blog from Beijing. Jeff and his girlfriend, Susan, hosted us in May - their blog links to an essay Susan just wrote for Time about the challenges of learning Mandarin.
