A Few Pictures from Kunming . . .


Wang Qui was Sue's first Chinese teacher. The other man is Dr. Doug Briggs. He and his wife are our dearest friends in China. He and I had the privilege of performing Wang Qui's wedding ceremony. The only wedding I've ever done all in Chinese! She now has a beautiful six year old daughter.



Luo Jian was my first Chinese teacher. He was impressed that I could still speak so well after being gone for two years. He was a great teacher, a dear brother, and a good friend. He was the one who gave me my Chinese name: Jin Le Ping, which means "Man of Peace."




Morning exercises in the park across the street from our old house.



Greenlake Park. Still my favorite place in Kunming. This was my "de-stress" place for all the years we lived here. Take a stroll through here . . . and fall in love with China all over again.
