Chengdu Earthquake

This is a quick entry to let you all know we are ok here in China. We are still in Shanghai, many miles from the earthquake epicenter. Apparently buildings swayed downtown here, but we felt nothing. Laurel was at work and Joe, Audrey, Tim & I think we were in the subway at the time it happened. The Lohmans, our friends in Chengdu were okay as of late Monday night. Their home is only 35 minutes from the epicenter, but they received only minor damage. We are scheduled to arrive in Chengdu on Monday. We'll keep you posted if this changes. We may just meet the Lohmans on the island of Hainan, rent some surfboards and learn to surf. J/k...

I instantly thought of you guys when I heard about the earthquake. So glad to hear you and your friends are ok. It must be an interesting time to be there. The earthquake is getting a lot of coverage here in the states.
Jason & I are taking off for adventures of our own, so we won't be able to visit when you get back. We rented our house out for a year and are going to travel-mostly here in the US. I'll probably start a blog for our adventures...maybe keeley in the states :)
