My travel was far more exciting than I'd have liked. Fog canceled the last lap of my flight so in order to arrive in time for the Saturday celebrations at Alliance, I had to fly in to a small airport 50 miles away, rent a car, then drive it to Alliance in the dark and in the fog -- of course, in an unfamiliar car and on unfamiliar highways. Going home, I had to drive the 50 miles back to return the rental car. (Sigh!)

— On June 29, 11 a.m., BBC Radio 4 will rebroadcast a program it broadcast in 2011, which was called "Captured by Pirates." The pirates part was about a boatful of Chefoo School student who were captured by pirates on their way home from a holiday. This program also included a significant section about Chefoo School Girl Guides in Weihsien. I've asked Producer Beth O'Dea to forward to you for the Weihsien web site a link with this broadcast.by courtesy, Beth O'Dea
