Emotional Day For Us.

Saturday we were up early to for a 3+ hour bus ride to visit the orphanage in Yangxi and visit her finding place.

It was great to get out of the city and see the countryside as we traveled to Yangxi. The climate is very tropical and the place is beautiful trees, flowers, and farm fields.

We do like the country and would choose to live there if were staying.

The first picture is part of the downtown area. The city was larger then expected and had an old town and the more modern portions. Primarily an agricultural area but there was some industry as well as some significant building projects underway.

We had excellent hosts at the orphanage, which shared some local fruit and lunch with us prior helping us see the different finding spots for each of the girls in our group.

Sondra wanted to include this picture of the "water buffalo" tethered in a grassy area across the street from the restaurant that we had lunch at. Most farms had one or more and there were even a few in town.
