It was great to be back in Ai Muan's home. David lived here for awhile learning language, it holds a special place in his heart. Since then we have had four kids, and Ai Muan, his teacher, got married and has a son. He now is a teacher along with his wife, they teach elsewhere but were home for the holiday. They are actually building a nice house in this village, it was great to see it!
The kids had lots of fun even though they were very tired.
Gabrielle trooped through it all. I reminded David that this was the perfect stage to visit the village, she can't crawl and is very content.
Ai Muan and David. Ai Muan said: 'do you want to go out to the field and eat strawberries?' They laughed because this is what they did every day almost when David was learning language.
His wife was in the kitchen preparing the meal, I always try to help and they never let me. Because Ai Muan and his wife are teachers they speak Mandarin, but the rest of his family does not (not even his brother).
cooking lunch over the fire.
More discussions in the kitchen....then he took us to his new house which is not yet done. We joked about which room would be ours. His village is right on the way to where we plant our Chinese Medicine, very convenient!
