This is one of the many sites I hope to see on my adventure in China. I will be traveling with my doctoral cohort from Texas A&M University.

I received the information for my trip. My cohort will be traveling to Hubei. I was provided the wikipedia link to gather some information about the province before we leave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubei

Over the next few days I will add information as I get it. Ms. Casey is working to upload skype into some of the classes so we can have a conference call.

I have also created a Twitter account which can be found at **HuttoinChina**
Before I left for China, my daughter and I got to take in the A&M t.u. game Thanksgiving Night.

I made it to China at 2 in the after noon Beijing time. That would be midnight in Hutto. Beijing is 14 Hours ahead of Hutto. The flight from Houston to Newwark, NJ was uneventful.

Had a 30 minute layover in Newwark. As we flew in I got to see the skyline of New York, New York.

Caught the flight to China and spent 13 hours on the plane. We flew the circle route over Canada across parts of Russia and Mongolia. The pictures below were taken from the plane at 35,000 feet.

I will get more pictures in the morning. I am not sure my Twitter will be working. I have tried to pull up on the computer but the site has not loaded.

Went and walked a little of the town this evening. You can get sea horse, starfish and scorpion on a stick. One of my professors, cohorts and I tried the scorpion.

Had a busy day on very little sleep. Early this morning we had opening presentations from each of the provinces delegates will visit. At lunch a few of us went to Tiananmen Square, Temple of Confucius, and the Lama Temple. The Lama Temple is the largest Buddhist outside of Tibet. The sights, sounds, and smells are amazing. The people of China have been great host and are extremely proud of their past and hopeful about their future.
