Thanks to Mom and Marl, I am now essentially an outpost of REI here in Beijing. I met my the husband of my sister's friend here in Beijing who was courier to some outerwear I asked for. When we met, he handed me a duffle bag STUFFED with items. I model them for you here.....

| A lounging around grey fleece vest. |
 |
| A nice vest to wear while teaching in my chilly classroom. |
 |
| This green fleece, along with gloves and a hat are perfect for biking to work and around town. |
 |
| There is sun, but it's still cold and snow is on the ground. This down jacket, along with wool hat keeps me warm throughout the day. |
 |
| The this color fleece provides many layering combinations with items I already have in my outerwear wardrobe. |

| Feet up in my new shoes as I am giving an exam. |
