AMAZING RACE

Let me guess you have heard of the amazing race before but how about in Beilun, China run by three people who thought it would be a good bonding experience for the school that they work at? Yup that is right the amazing Chaney and Daniels families decided that it would be fun if they made an amazing race around Beilun. So one Saturday in March it didn't rain and the race began. Doug and I had the pleasure of being on a team with two students. Brother and sister, Theo and Margot. So the four of us when they said go the four of us ran.
There were about 17 to 20 teams that did this, from families to friends to teachers with students.

The deal was that you had to take three modes of transportation, pedicab, bus and taxi, you had to make sure that you got a picture of you using them. So there are a few pictures of us on the transportation. The rest of the time we ran, ran and ran, and those two wonderful students ran also. It was great, we had to calligraphy that Margot rocked at, we had to cut paper, we had to buy fruit of a certain weight, and we kicked butt at all of them, then we slowed down when we got to the riddles, all the riddles, man they got us there......BUT NO WORRIES

WE WON FIRST PLACE!!!!! AND WE GOT TROPHIES.

This is Theo and Margot on the bus. It was great they would always say they were doing fine and then ask me how I was doing because I was the slowest.

Margot doing calligraphy she looked at me and said you do it...I turned to her and I said you are the true artist.

We had a blast. Doug and I love doing these thing together. We love being able to cross the finish line together and cheer each other on. We make a great team...we had so much fun that we couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day...now the plan is to do something like this for our new school!

Great idea and great way to get to know a town better...we have the t-shirt to prove that we did it.
