Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
This is the final route. What an accomplishment….we did it! 1000 miles…Beijing to Shanghai!
This afternoon we were walking through the lobby of the Grand Hyatt(thank you KevinG)…walking to the elevator we pass by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar checking into the Hotel, without slowing our stride we calmly said to each other “that’s Kareem”. No big deal? Last night we got into the elevator and Kevin made a comment to a gentleman in the elevator…”nice shirt”…”Faconnable is my favorite brand of shirt”…The man replies…”what is your address?”…”I am the owner of the company and I really like it when I meet people who love our products”….”I will send you a package”. Kevin sure didn’t expect that response to his casual comment about the man’s shirt. Just another day in the Grand Hyatt. Just another day in China. This trip has been amazing! As a group, we have experienced more on this adventure than any of us could have ever expected or imagined. We have only just scratched the surface of this awesome country. I want to see more..learn more…experience more of China. I am very thankful that I have been able to be a part of this project. The project continues…the work has just begun…Jason and Ian continue to be very busy running around doing interviews, getting more shots, and arranging more interviews in Beijing. It’s non-stop…they are impressive to watch. Kevin and I try to help when we can….finding the relaxation rooms, the spas, pools and hot tubs here at the hotel….pointing them in the right direction? We are all really tired…ready to get back our lives in USA. Recuperate, Regenerate, and then Return to China in the future.
