Dan and Emma were here for a little more than a week. She is a student from China and he lives and studies in Oregon. He drove 12 hours straight from outside Portland to Harmony Hill. In a short time they did much valuable work harvest- ing goat food and organizing the firewood. Each learned to milk a goat and groom a horse. Since they had a car they could explore the area and National Parks. Emma had a riding lesson at Sierra View before they drove back to resume school. Emma had a beautiful singing voice and taught me the first verse of the haunting and lovely Chinese song "My Heart Represents the Moon." (I am learning the rest of the song from Kai Hei our next visitor who arrived with a ukulele, the day after they left.)
Dan spoke some Chinese and had traveled there. We enjoyed learning more about the Chinese countryside and culture.
