Jake has now been in China for almost two weeks. He posted these photos on Facebook, and of course I had to borrow them. What an awesome experience for him!
Then we heard about the massive explosion that took place in Tianjin, the city where they were to travel to as part of their study of the Eco-City. I looked back over our messaging and saw that they were scheduled to go to Tianjin Thursday morning, so they supposedly were't there yet, but I couldn't relax until Jake actually wrote back saying that they were okay.
I'm not sure how much news coverage the people there have been allowed to see. Following news coverage in the U.S. has been wild, at least 50 confirmed dead and hundreds more injured or missing. The most recent concern has been the impact on the quality of air in the area as the explosion was in a place storing hazardous chemical materials.
This reminded me of when Katie first went to Seoul for her student teaching, and we heard about the Ferry full of students sinking. Her school was not involved, but until we heard that from her, we had some scary thoughts.
What's a momma to do?
I will be glad when he comes home, safe and sound.
