American Heart

the second entry...

Not much happened between now and last time I wrote. It is July 4th for me and today is NOT Independence Day in ANY way. True, I'm in China, but I have an American heart. Time flies, but yet, it doesn't. It comes to a peak and then, it drifts. A day, becoming longer at the same time as it begins to fade. I miss my friends in America, no, I miss everyone! Somehow, I think the person I miss most isn't any or either of my parents. It's Eric. Something's going on... Plans have been screwed because of my brother having an issue on what he eats, and the dreadful weather, so blistering, even on it's coolest times. Limited to Beijing, less of my story will be uncovered. All the food and scenery, all the panoramic details, hidden from me. Less to explore, less to see. We, my grandma, Jim, and I went for a stroll this morning. Twas one of these days, not as hot, but still unbaring. We walked around a little market area, not very quiet, ut business seemed sort of slow. Time, being eaten away, but in a sparing manner, brought our amble to a stop. Pausing to glance at the springs, dancing gracefully to the music in the backround. We headed home as we passed a small lake. A peacful, unpolluted lake. I then knew, even China is starting to protect the environment. Smiling, we arrived. Not much more was of this day. The day in China I've spent, both, so far, the longest, and the shortest.

Great chapter as well. It does read like a diary
but written in a very engaging manner. I really
like the way you write.
