We had about two weeks of spring weather and now it looks as if summer has hit. Today the high is supposed to be 90 degrees Fahrenheit and rain is in the forecast for the end of the week. Time for my Chinese neighbors to start eating ice cream in the afternoon. And I'm already seeing girls wearing bohemian skirts or short shorts and guys pushing their shirts above their belly. Personally, I like the warm weather but the summer thunderstorms don't really agree with me. This is our third summer here and I know what to expect. Although last year we spent six weeks of the summer back in California we still experienced plenty of hot and wet days here. I'm glad we've already booked our flight back to the states so I have something to look forward during the hot and sticky weather. This year we will be going back for only three and a half weeks. We are leaving the day after our work year ends in June. Sam didn't want to stay any longer than 4 weeks and we have something to attend in Hong Kong mid July, so we have to cut our visit short of a month.
Now practically every night I dream that I'm back in California. I can never remember how I got there but as soon as I realize where I am I start trying to find a Target or Old Navy. Some nights I'm looking for Mexican food instead. It's still a month and a half away but I can't wait to see everyone!
We're excited to get to see you! We'll ahve to do gutter Chuan'r again! :)

We go to Hong Kong on July 16th. We'll just miss you! I'll have to email you. Maybe we can catch up on Skype. I'd love to hear some of your experiences.
